Yes you did I don't have one at home yet but use the scotch brite wheels at work. They are amazing at deburing polishing and getting a brushed finish on stainless well worth it in my opinion.

New Scotchbrite wheel, 5 fold, V fine, $60 from Abrasiflex
I was given one about 7 years ago and that one lasted me 5 years. Been doing a lot more MW in the last two years hence have gone through it a but quicker.
Uses:
Mainly light rust removal with no material removal, and removes light scratches and puts a really nice burnished finish on Al, brass, SS etc
I find that finish much more practical than anything super shiny.

Put it on a mini bench grinder, and it's practically new again.
