I've used a section of a power hacksaw blade. Something similar to this

Hacksaw blade or I mostly take my square scrapper to knock it off really easy.
I am really looking forward to seeing more of your work.

+1 on the hacksaw blade . I always seem to have extra of the cheap hacksaw frames around , so I keep an old blade in one just for cleaning buffing wheels .

I use a thin slice of wood with a sharp edge, about 2" wide (mine is cocobolo since it is tough). I hold it against the spinning wheel occasionally, as a preventative measure. I've never seen a buildup.
But could you be using too much polishing compound? It doesn't take much.

80 Grit sand paper. I use a piece of an old belt sander belt. The directions say to use sand paper to reduce the fuzz before starting to use the pad. So I have been using sand paper to clean, works fast and easy!
