Angry HELP PLEASE!! WAX DIDN"T GET THE SCUFFS OFF MY 35TH ANNIVERSARY WHEELS!!

OK...so I tried waxing the rims but it didn't help much. Should I get some really fine grit wet/dry sandpaper & try to remove it that way?? Do these machine faced rims even have a clearcoat??? What will get these irritating scuffs out?????

Well wax won't help get rid of scratches. You will need to use a polish/rubbing compound on them, and you'll get the best results with a automatic polisher. If that doesn't work then you can possibly goto 1000-2000 grit sandpaper and the take the polish to it.

Depending on how bad the scuffs are your are more than likely going to have to live with them.

As MadIce pointed out, waxing will do jack **** for the scuff, unless you want to protect them.

Depending on the scuff marks, a clay bar might help you, or abrasive polish.....take some pics and post what it looks like and we'll be able to help you.
