I used the method below on my black seat belt buckles and some other miscellaneous pieces. I don't see any reason it wouldn't work on the steering wheels with the color cast into the plastic.

First, I used 400-1000 grit sandpaper to remove fine scratches. Following that, I buffed them with the white rouge compound and a soft flannel buff that I use as the final step in polishing stainless. I used VERY light pressure to avoid softening or melting the plastic. The buckles look new. You may want to practice first on something that's not as valuable as your steering wheel.
