Scratches on Rims????
I read somewhere that there is a way to remove some scratches on the stock TL Rims?
Story: Got my 06 TL Pearl Blue, Pearchment interior in October 06. Got screwed on the price but thats not the point. So I havent driven since I was 18 im 23 now. Dont have a driveway so I had to park on the street. Result is that now all my rims got scratches on them. I wish there was something I can do. I beautifull Ack doesn't look so beautiful anymore.
Please guys if you know anything in the NY area let me know. Im sure not all the scratches car be removed but some would be better than nothing.
Steve.
I'll post up some picks later.

Just had mine done cause tire place scratched all 4 rims (a new guy who did not bother to use the correct machine at the shop - idiot!)
Anyway, they had them repaired for me by "Wheel Collision" I think they are in PA. FANTASTIC job - brand new. Was able to pick my car up same day - I was really impressed and that is not easily done. I think they said it was like $50 per rim...I did not care cause it was on the tire place - not me

I've just got my rims and tires scratched coming out from the oil change (my fault)
Nothing bad at all, but still distracting since I clean my rims every week...
Is there someway I can do to buff that out or make it less visible?
and dang they put 40 PSI on all four tires saying it has 51 PSI on the tire spec.
But recommended is 35 on the front and 32 on the back... I got distracted because of that and made an idiotic mistake....
