Default Dings on polished LIp???

if there are some rock dings and stuff like that that makes the polished lip on a rim on lets say, a dtm kreuz wheel, unsmooth ... is there a way to go about and clean this up and make it look better?
last resort would probably be buy new outters...

i read before the Tech that showed how to fix stock rims, so just wondering if there would be a way to fix the aftermarket. Like how f0cked up the lip would get if i took sandpaper to it.

Thanks

Default i would wet sand it with some extremely fine grit paper, then go at it with some

NOXON No. 7 metal polish...that would work.

Default Is it clearcoated? My Oettinger RE has a scratch I'd like to fix

Because its lip is polished and clearcoated I'm hesitant to tackle it.

Default i have used Mother's polish - it worked for me

just ensure the sanding is done. i polished too early and had to resand the lip, then repolish then shoot a bit of clearcoat for protection
