What's the best way to clean up these scratches? It's on my polished lip. They are very small, and not deep.

Picture of Lip:

synth stop putting big metal watches on your lip for starters.... (btw what brand is that watch, i like)

As for getting scratches out of a polished rim i'm guessing a dremel tool with a polishing attachment along with some metal polish you'd pick up at pep boys would work ok. There's no clearcoat on those is there?

^ lol... that's the only pic I took of the lip....you've all seen that before. I thought I told you what watch it was before? It's a cheap watch, like maybe $100 or under.... my fiance got it for me from Roots in Toronto (It's like an urban version of the GAP).

Back to the wheels... I don't think there is a clear coat, is there any signs on the wheels that can confirm that? Or do I need to find out from the manufacturer?

hmm now that you mention it...yah you already told me about that watch. its the early alzheimers.

with some wheels it's pretty obvious if there's a clear coat; others not so much. I'd probably contact the manufacturer just to be safe. i would think you should be able to tell by looking at the scratches but since you don't have a pic of them..

How to tell if your wheels are clearcoated or polished

Get some aluminum polish for wheels
Take a clean white cloth and wipe the polish on the wheel
Continue wiping for a few seconds then look at the cloth
Is it turning black?
polished wheel
clearcoated wheel

can you wax a polished lip?

I found out there is a clearcaot on my lip. I guess I have to live with the scratch. (It looks like a fine strand of clear hair).

Absolutely. However, you'd be better off applying a polymer or a "wheel wax" that can stand up to the abuse the wheel takes.

Thanks, when my Devotions come in, I'll have to put a coat of Zaino on them
