"Spurs" - Tool for removing wax or compounding from buffer pad

I have seen a tool used by a professional boat refinisher. She called it a "spurs". A handtool of small toothed wheels that spin when applied to a rotating buffing pad. The purpose is to remove the accumlated wax or compounding from a buffing pad.
What is the proper name of this tool and where are they generally sold?

Spur or rake is probably correct but should be available anywhere you are buying your detailing supplies.
