how to get scratches out of polished AL wheels
I have some scratches on the wheels. I'm going to order Adams 2 step polish, but was wondering if it will get the scratches out?

they dont look to bad at all, adams is great polish, i would try polishing them with some high speed tool, i have done a few sets of rims and other parts, i had alot of scratches in my wheels , did a few diff. compounds, and some wet sanding and they came out great, that is the only thing good about polished rims, they can always be made back o like new shape,

put the *** end of the car on jack stands.. put scratched rim on and put it in drive.. use whatever power tool you have and polish it out that way... Ive done it many times like that... very fast and very effective...

i have always used steel wool with some polish on it, but again thats is how bad the wheel is, what i usally do is buff them out with a tool,and once im done and the polished is removed i will go back an rub polish on with my 2 fingers, i forget what they call it but i think its called micro polishing, that usally takes the buffing marks out of the wheel
