Do they exist? A cleaning wheel for a buffer?

Not to clean the buffing wheels.

I am looking for something that will do all the elbow grease for me. For instance, I just picked up one of these, and it is dirty, greasy etc into the nooks and crannies...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Cra...8192?pt=Power_Tools&hash=item3ce3890f80...and I'll end up using red rags b/c they are a little "abrasive", if you will.

But it sure would be easy if there was a wheel for a buffer that was more "abrasive" than a polishing wheel, but not to the extent of a wire wheel or nylon. Pretty much wrap a red rag on the buffing wheel texture.

Any ideas? I can't use wire wheel b/c this part has satin finish etc....

EDIT: a ScotchBrite type of wheel would be perfect

EDIT: got my answer. For anyone else, here you go...https://www.google.com/search?safe=...n-Carbide-Diameter%2Fdp%2FB0006N7KZE;1024;937

Thanks. :beer:

It sounds like you already have it figured out, but if not you could try a homemade flexable skotchbrite wheel to your spicific needs. They're easy to make. You can make them any shape you want. Just may take a fair amount of flat skotchbrite pads but thats really up to you. You poke a hole through however many you think you'll need. Cut with scissors the shape you want, mount them on an arbor you can use in a 90 deg air tool or straight die grinder and there you go. That will satin that thing right up, I've done it a million times. Sure you can buy all the factory made stuff too, as do I too, but in a pinch this works everytime.
