Hi, my daughter brushed up on a curb and scratched an alloy wheel . Is there a product or method I could use to buff these scratches out?
Any help will be appreciated. Tom

File them smooth with a rough file.
File them smoother with a not-so-rough file.
Pick up some 'Scotchbrite' polishing pads made of abrasive aluminum.
Rub with roughest pad.
Rub with medium rough pad
Rub with fine / polishing pad.
Then coat it with clear (as it is from the factory) or it will oxidize over time. For a small area, clear nail polish works in a pinch.
