Terminology for a new guy

ok guys I am reading your posts, i have the multi-tool and a dremel already and have probably successfully cleaned up a couple of my razors as I need to practice on many levels (specially with stropping, my technique sucks) but thats another story....what is MAAS?
As I will be in the USA from the 7th of March till the 22nd i believe Id like to be able to go to places where I can buy these things as i live in scotland its difficult to obtain these items easily usually I resort to sending it to my inlaws in NC then getting them to send them to me.
here is my shopping list so far...
1. Set of Norton Stones
2.Pre-Pasted Paddle strop 4 sided from Tonys.
3.Any Cleaning stuff which is beneficial as I think its better for me to use elbow grease.

This is a wish list for now but if you know the best places to go for these items please feel free and drop me a line ( No.2 is obvious...hehe)but places where I can find these on the shelf that are like a shop chain.
Enough babbling from me, thanks for those of you who read this and can assist me.

Hi coully,

I couldn't find MAAS anywhere local to me so I ordered from the internet. Here's where I got it from:

Hope this helps...

Hi Coully,

MAAS is another of many metal polishes. Flitz, Wenol or Simichrome will also work.

Check Wal-Mart. On the household cleaners aisle, next to the Basso & similar products. It is in a silver box. MAAS is a great product.

Coully,
I prefer simichrome to mass. A bit more abrasive (not too much more) and it seems to shine up a bit better. Just my opinion, YMMV.

Metal-Glo is good too. Very popular in the knife world.

I picked mine up at a local hardware store. But I also did a quick google search and Amazon has it for $4.88:
