Wheel repair
Does anyone have any experience with repairing scuff marks on your wheels? My wife's GL has several marks on two of the wheels. Some of the marks are small and some are larger.

Any comments or advice? Even if I don't do a "perfect" job it would probably be better than how it looks today.
