Replacement Steering Wheel or Restoration

Ok the steering wheel in my truck is pretty dingy and when it hasn't been driven in a while starts to develop some kind of green algae like stuff on it. So I've been looking at buying a replacement. GM still makes the steering wheel that goes in our truck (GM 9762307) but it's around $270! My steering wheel is in good shape but even if I can get all that stuff off it's still very faded. I've seen some restoration kits in JC Whitney and at Eastwood. Has anyone had any success with them or can you recommend one over the other?

I bought a new/used Grant steering wheel of ebay ($30) and I love it. I still have the factory one that is in great shape but I like the Grant one better.

Try a junk yard? Should be plenty to choose from. You could even put one in from like a late 80s, early 90s in there. Check full size vans too, as they are probably the same wheel.
