Default Scratched Alloys

Yesterday I curbed my Audi and scratched one of my alloy wheels deep enough it took the clear coating and paint off. What can I do to repair or at least stop any further deterioration until I can get these wheels properly refinished?

I don't think I'd worry about deterioration.

I would suggest looking in the phone book, or call a BMW or MBZ dealer (not your local Audi dealer) and ask who they would recomend to repair a scratched alloy wheel. There are "vendors" who come around to dealerships and refurb wheels, and you can't even tell when they are done. They probably would come to your home or work and do it while you are inside. Your Audi dealer is going to want you to bring it in so they can mark it up.
