scraped my rim! :(
i was trying to park close to the curb and scraped my front rim. 
it wasn't very bad but definitely noticeable. anyone has any recommendations on how i can make it look better? should i just sand it off or what? Thanks.

I have nicks and little scratches and little scrapes all over my rims, but it's hardly noticeable unless I'm a foot away or closer.
For perfectionist, this may bother them like crazy, but it doesn't bug me that much shouldn't but you that much either!
Just kidding, goto the famous autopia.com? site and they have an essay (literally) written on how to minimize and perfect the flaws that are visible.

i used it it basically to seal the rim more or less, i didnt want it to have rough edges or take wax differently, that and gives me piece of mind it wont oxidize but yeah it wont rust
