Default Steering Wheel Silver worn off

The silver on my steering wheel has rubbed off in several spots and black is showing through. What can I use to fix it so it is all silver again?

I went and sanded off the black and then polished the plastic. Another option to consider and I prefer the black over silver.

That looks good to. I was rocking that for a while on Cup, then went back to silver.

Indeed; like when Cup had a bowling ball interior. Her spokes had that effect.
