Curb rash in Fuchs - fixing
 

What's the best way to "buff" out a little bit of rash on Fuchs? The edge isn't scrubed, more of a small nick in the face of the lip.

Tried sanding. Made it better, but think it's deeper than what's possible with 500 grit.

Hey, don't feel bad, I was in England last week testing the new Aston Martin DBS Volante, riding with a writer from Car and Driver at the time, and he four or five times whacked the curb on the narrow Cotswald roads with the left-side wheels--once so hard the whole car bounced--and thoroughly trashed the wheels. $1,000 apiece.

In his favor, I have to admit it was a big car on small roads.

The problem with the factory Fuch finish is, is that the face of the lip is anodized. So as you sand the nick flat you also remove the anodizing - I would just leave it until you decide to refinish the entire wheel.

Actually, I want to polish the lip, so I have already removed the anodizing.

I have used Mother Mag wheel polish on polished mags to great effect.
