rimz scratched

[dub88acc]

Anyone know the easiest way to take off scraches off my rims. There not that noticeable unless you really look at them. Any suggestions? My rims are silver polished and there are scraches on the lip. Is sanding them the best way to get rid of it?

Try some Mother's Aluminum and Mag polish first. Sanding will only make things worse, I think. The polish has a little bit of a cleaner to it and may help to blend those hardly noticable scratches.

Make sure your wheels are cool to the touch and clean before trying anything.

I would try buffing them out a it.

But scratched aluminum isnt really easy to fix.

use some good metal polish. although the polished part on your rim is probley clear coated as well as the rest of the rim. the metal polish will eat up the clear coat though. it will look shinny for a while then turn gray from oxidation. believe me, i've done it before. i'd say if they are clear coated try some polishing compound and wax them afterwards. if its not too noticeable, leave it alone. also, never use wheel cleaner on your wheels, that eats up the finish too.
