Wheel Barrel Scratch

As I was washing my wheels yesterday with my EZ Detail brush, I was surprised to find this scratch on the wheel barrel:


Has anyone ever had this happen and how do you fix it?

Thanks

hahaha it WAS funny though. just take everything with a grain of salt man

I have used this on my iForged and it works awesome. but those scratches look much deeper than just superficial surface scratches. but I'd give these a try:

P21S Finish Restorer - 75 ml | Detailed Image

P21S Metal Polishing Soap - 10.5 oz | Detailed Image

Thanks but these are scratches. I'm not sure a metal polish will remove

Oh man....plenty of comedians around today! LOL.


Seriously though, there are companies that will refinish damaged/scratched wheels. They seem to do a good job from what I've seen & heard.

Yeah if they are DEEP scratches you will have to get the wheels refinished if you really want them out. Since they are on the inner barrel I wouldn't do that because it's a waste of money IMO (especially for the OEM wheels).

If they are just surface scratches the metal polish i posted above WILL fix it though. I've taken out plenty of surface scratches on mine
