Help...I have some rather deep new scratches on one of my '99 3.2TL mags.
The mags are quite new (OEM ones bought a few ago) the scratches weren't there when the summer tires/wheels were put on this spring and I don't remember seeing the scratches just before they were recently taken off for the winter (I think the people who switched my summers/winters dropped it or somehow scratched it but have no proof and it's too late anyway).

I've tried cleaner wax on the scratches-nothing. And some NXT-nothing.
In fact the scratches seem so deep that now I can't buff the wax out that I applied.

The silver part of the wheel that has the scratches has a clearcoat doesn't it?

Anything I can do by hand to get rid of the scratches.

If there is a more appropriate place than here to post this message could someone let me know.

Thanks for any input.

if its that deep then yea ur out of luck, if it was kinda surface scratches, then some aluminum or steel polish could of taken it out.

If you can feel the scratches than you can fill them will a bondo putty, sand down, and paint. There is DIY on here somewhere, but just make sure that you clean the area to be filled VERY well before applying bondo.

you can sand it down to minimize the scratches. Start using a heavy grit, then all the way up to 2000. Paint afterwards or just polish them . Here's a video
