Advice on removing scratches from wheels...
I noticed today that I have fine scratches all over my wheels. I took the car throught the car wash yesterday, so obviously this has something to do with it as does sand and salt.

Has anyone experienced this and does anyone have any advice on removal? I assume there is a clearcoat on them, but maybe not. I asked this question on the detailing board but it seems pretty quiet over there.

Don't ever use an auto car wash.
If you really want to upset yourself, in good light look in a planar fashion across the roof, hood, or sides of your can at all the swirls you got too.

Take it to a shop that sells rims and they can buff it out.
