American Racing Chrome Wheel with fine Scratches

[ddoti1]

I ve got some very fine scratches in my wheels and would love to get them removed.... took them off for winter and have used a powerball with polish, nev-r-dull, and American Racing cleaner... So wheels are clean but I can see very light fine scratches in the chrome ! Can or will jewelers rouge take it out, if so what color ? Or is there something else that will work !

Thanks

Sorry to say that I've never found any way to remove marring from chrome. In my experience once the chromium layer gets scratched it's scratched. The chrome trim on my '85 Jag was scratched like your wheels while it was still new in the showroom...I've tried all sorts of stuff over the years (starting the day I took it home) but I've never had any luck.

I must agree with this statement. I've polished my little *** off to remove any of those fine scratches and they just dont come out. Even if you could get them out, I think they woudl come back real quick once you wash that area again. Just the nature of the beast!
