Scratched my rims taking off the lugs.

I had a couple scratches on my gloss black Volk rims from tire install and I hand buffed them out with 3M rubbing compound and a quality micro fiber towel.

I had a couple scratches on my gloss black Volk rims from tire install and I hand buffed them out with 3M rubbing compound and a quality micro fiber towel. Literally took out 100 percent of the scratch.. I even put under a LED light to see if there were tiny swirls...

I also hit it with a swirl remover after just to be a perfectionist. If I were you I would try this before you do rim repair. Rim repair will look great BUT I will guarantee the color will not match the rest of your wheels... So either do all to match or none at all. I can speak first hand from a set of 350z track rims I had done.

Hope that helps
