I use same smoothing and body heat method as Mark and get same results. I don't use fabric softener. Mark, thanks for the info about the stone. This is the first one I've seen that has no aluminum. Is it odor free, too? If so, I'm going to try it. Then I'll go on a long ride on my Appaloosa to test it out! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
