Totally didn't notice that it was bent.....now that you pointed it out I do see it. _________________________ Paul Tariello III BCA #41445 1938 Buick Special Model 41 Whistler Grey original, 86k miles, in my family since '68 Resurrected in May '05 after 25 years of slumber!

Smartin Smartin Member Registered: 03/04/02 Posts: 1875 Loc: St. Charles, MO	If you're referring to the interior, I didn't run into a sticky situation at all:D Everything's nice and dry. What kinds of cleaners do you use? _________________________ Adam Martin Gateway Chapter Assistant Director www.buickpartsdirectory.com www.buickcenturion.com www.gatewaybca.org 1971 Buick Centurion Formal Coupe 1971 Buick LeSabre Custom455 Four Door Sedan

edalfa edalfa Member Registered: 07/02/05 Posts: 164 Loc: Franklin, MA	Yeah-I mean the inside $;\)$ , especially the steering wheel. I use whatever cleaner I have- 409, Simple Green, etc. I recently had a 74 Nova SS and I could never seem to get the steering wheel clean enough. It was always sticky. If I hadn't sold it to buy my Buick, I would have had to replace the wheel. It was a desert car-maybe that enters into it. Ed

Smartin Smartin Member Registered: 03/04/02 Posts: 1875 Loc: St. Charles, MO	The "sticky steering wheel" situation is pretty common. Simple green has worked for me in the past. Use a scrub brush and work on it...a lot. _________________________ Adam Martin Gateway Chapter Assistant Director www.buickpartsdirectory.com www.buickcenturion.com www.gatewaybca.org 1971 Buick Centurion Formal Coupe 1971 Buick LeSabre Custom455 Four Door Sedan
