The mount includes structure for releasably supporting the mount from a wheel hub having a vehicle wheel mounted thereon and with the aforementioned axis substantially coinciding with the axis of rotation of the wheel hub. A support is carried by the other end of the arm and has tire side wall buffing structure supported therefrom for buffing the outer side wall of a tire mounted on the wheel. The arm is adjustable in length, the support mounts guide wheels for rollingly engaging the outer periphery of the vehicle wheel from which the tire is supported and the buffing structure includes a motor driven buffing wheel rotatable about an axis which generally parallels the longitudinal extent of the arm.
