Anyone buff out curb rash on polished lip?

[MSOsr]

I have HRE wheels and have a small area of curb rash on my right front lip. Has anyone had experience in buffing out and repolishing a lip (no clearcoat)? If so, what tools/procedures?

bump...i would like to know too!!



I just purchased a set of HRE rims with some minor curb rash.



I looked up the guide on autopia with the porsche wheel...but the HRE`s have uncleared polished lips.



This means I can`t use putty...



I`m guessing the only way to fix bare metal then is to sand it and try to blend the rash in?? (but sacrificing material while you`re doing it)



Can someone confirm?



Thanks,

IIRC, I started with a fine file to try and keep things even, then some fairly coarse sandpaper (240 I think) up through some really fine. I had to reclear mine. Still, I don`t think anyone but me could find the spot.
