Polishing our wheels

[bubblerboy64]

Glad to be of some help. Small return for all the help that has been
going my direction over the last year. Listen, I tried to polish one
of my wheels, I know what you are talking about. No way. On that
fight the wheel would have won. I worked a couple hours and I think
I made it worse, rather then better. In fact the owner of the VIS
system had to kid me a little about my efforts.
