Several articles on this, e.g.:

In case it is not what you were looking for, you may use the Search function, e.g. "steering wheel repair".

Alternatively, if the scratches are on the outside ring you can install a leather steering wheel cover.  Wheel Skins has them.  I installed one about 5 years ago and it still looks and feels good.

This leather skin may, actually, work as a protection...

Could you post a link or picture...

I had my interior guy wrap my wheel in leather to match the interior.

He is pretty good.

Here is a pic

I have repaired my steering wheel with Milliput and after that it's sprayed with primer and paint.
