    I want to get some fine scratches out of my wheels that look like the last owner would wipe them while they were dirty. Hard to get things like that out of chrome but if they're polished, I would think they could be polished some more.

    Anybody know ???

    So if I take a buffer to them, I won't screw 'um up?

    polish rims

    I polished my 1999 cobra rims earlier today with just aluminum polish and a rim cleaning pad, they look like crome. Polish works wonders. I attached before and after pics, not best photo quality but still the difference is noticable
