1987 Buick Regal

[DJLATIN]

1987 regal limited dark red rosewood (D84 two-tone)

Picked this up over a week ago in Arlington, TX. Plan to paint it the same color, but who knows where I can find the fabric material to get the bucket seats redone?

also, what do i use to take off the brake dust from the wheels? any suggestions? i tried eagle one and just regular car wash soap. i don't think the previous owner did much cleaning on the wheels.

Sweet Buick!

Try a local upholstry shop to see if they have some books of materials and patterns to track down the info for your seats.

As for the wheels, that rough cast aluminum can be hard to clean.
I'd pull the wheels off the car and hose 'em down with some carb or brake cleaner and see if that does the trick.

Thanks Blake, I'll try that out this weekend about the wheels and about to look up some upholstery shops and see if some material comes close to these bucket seats.

Appreciate it,
GM

could try some westley's bleechwhite on them with some light scrubbing.... just don't leave it on too long(one wheel at a time)

nice looking ride BTW.... 8)

Use eagle one aluminum mag wheel etching cleaner and a scrub brush, its the best stuff you can use on those wheels.

Looks like a nice score. Gbodyparts.com should have the seat covers.
