You do as you wish, ...but I would not use Coconut oil because it doesn't really dry, ...which means it will continue to attract dirt and debris that will just rub off on your hands.

Over the years I have restored or refurbished many Soybean wheels (-as have other restorers such as the late Doug Bruce) et.al, and the best I/we have found is to use is Black liquid Shoe Polish to get the color back. After the Shoe Polish has dried for several days, then use Shoe Wax such as SC Johnson's KiWi brand (-or something similar since they are phasing it out) and apply it and then continually work it in by buffing it with a Microfiber Towel. The Shoe Wax & Polish actually absorbs into the Soy and it dries. It will not rub off on your clothes or hands even during humid weather conditions.
