I have a couple surface scratches on the polished lip of my wheels. They are not serious scratches, just surface blemishes I guess you could say. You can not feel them with the touch of a finger. Is there anyway for me to buff them out? Any products I should use? Please let me know if anyone has any ideas. Thanks.

Did you go though the clearcoat?

Try some ScratchX and wax afterwards. :smile:

Thank you. Will be trying that this weekend.

I did not go through the clearcoat...just the surface.

That's good news. You can do a 2-in-one and use CleanerWax which
has abrasives in it while you wax your wheel. I use it every once in a
while to clean up brake dust build up (if I have any).
