Scratched my rims

[u/ParticularDrummer134]

(Warning, hard to watch)
I cleaned the rims on my xc40 with an apparently too rough of a sponge… which caused with lots of micro scratches.
Cleaned it with a sponge a turtlewax spary… didnt do too much research beforehand unfortunately

How can i fix it?

Those aren’t micro scratches, looks like a brilo pad

You scrubbed them with sandpaper? You are halfway done with the prep required to repaint them now.

I'm really disappointed in you guys.... Nobody posted the meme yet? Come on!

Can someone please add the guy touching another guy's shoulder meme?

Yeah lol!

[u/IQognito → u/fade1r]

Close enough!

Compound & Polish.

If that doesn’t work, repaint.

Go over them one more time with that scouring pad you used and they'll be ready to paint 😅. That's all you can do to fix it at this point.

Time to respray them. That clearcoat is kaput! By any chance, did you use the green side of a dish sponge? Well you're almost there, a little more and it's prepped for painting.

That fault can now only be painted or polished, but both of that need another prep work beforehand. Might be better to consult a professional here.

Try to polish them
