Mmm. Wally World? Is that for real or are you being flippant and
referring to Walmart? I called two large hardware stores in the vicinity
today and asked for Dico polish but they don't stock it. I could call
again and ask for MAAS, though. I figure I'll need another buffing wheel
for my grinder. My homemade grinder has an extra shaft coming out the
other side of the motor, which I reserve for things like buffing wheels,
wire brush wheels and believe it or not, a homemade table saw.
