My steering wheel had 17 cracks with 11 of them going all the way through. I cheaped out on tape (bad idea) and had some overspray land on top of the clear coat over the white section (pic 1). Am I right to think I can sand it off with 1200 grit sand paper and polish the shine back? Also the clear coat at the top and bottom of the wheel dried to quickly and got a little bumpy (pic 2&3). It was at the very end so I thought, and please correct me if I'm wrong, that I could use the same method for removing the bumpyness and polish the shine back into it. Is there a product anyone would recommend for polishing after sanding with the 1200 if it is right to do so?

Start with just using polishing compound to remove overspray. If that does not work then 2000-3000 grit sand paper would remove it. Then polish afterwards. 1200 grit is too coarse. If there is enough paint to sand the bumps flat, then you can use the same method do deal with it. Just be careful not to sand thru the paint.
