Allen,
My god! what have I wrought???
Did I in advertantly start this cat stuff??
In any case, I've tried the Persain for buffing, but I'm
having alot of trouble
keeping it on the 'power buffer'. I've tried using a
velcro strap, and also some
tackly glue, but as soon as I get the RPM's up the cat
always flies off. Do you
have some other reccomnedations??
