Default Alloy wheel polishing attachment

I have been looking at the meguiars alloy wheel polishing attachment to clean the outer part of my splits but it seems that this product is only available to the US and not here

does anyone know of a similar attachment that is available?

Many thanks

You can get lots of differant felt type attachments for drills,but the one in the video looks great with that shape,its foam so normal foam spot pads would also do the trick but you wouldnt be able to get in the spokes like that one,so only good for the dish part of the rim

Well i bought one from the states for the grand sum of £26 posted and it looks a good piece of kit - can't wait to use it on my wheels now, no more scabby split rims at shows
