Can anyone recommend a very small polishing bit?

I picked up a set of Mercedes 8 hole alloys for a song but they need work (naturally!). What I'm after is a small polishing pad which can fit a standard drill but which is small enough to get in the holes to polish out a ton of light scratches. It needs to be "christmas tree" shaped rather than the usual disk design.

Can anyone help?

Mike.

Here's a source I use for my aluminum wheels. He has a wide variety of sizes and types. Give him a call if you can't find the wheel you're looking for or just need advice.

Thanks for the feedback. I've found a place that sells a 22 piece polishing kit and have just ordered one.

Mike.
