Slight scratch on monza wheel

[AndyG]

Is it possible to polish out a very minor scratch on a monza wheel.I think I caught it with the wheelie bin and you cannot really see it but I know it's there now and it's bugging me.

If it's really buggging you I guess you have nothing to lose by trying,  worst case scenario is getting a proffesional to do it if it doesn't go well,  good old fashioned Solvol Autosol is slightly abrasive and intended for chrome so worth a try.

I am not sure there are many worse feelings (death and your team getting relegated apart) then when you hear that first scrape on an immaculate alloy wheel....truly heart breaking.

I wouldnt touch it mate, in my experience, makes it worse. True, there are experts who can refurb, but if its only small, I would wait until the next time.. (and there will be one!)

I think I will leave it as it is very slight.It could be worse a bloke at work parked his r32 in a field whilst going shooting and a peacock pecked his front bumper.

I bet the peacock population was one less after that.

I had a few scratches on mine and just polished them out with a machine polisher and some Menzerna polish.

They came up like new

Just for future reference, don't use autosol on your wheels! Although they have a machined surface they are still laquered like your paintwork so autosol would most likely fook them right up!

If it's just a scuff i would try a decent polish like mike said, just go easy and it'll be fine by hand as it's only a small area.

I have autoglym is this considered decent.I have polished the scratch with it,i suppose more elbow grease and time needed as its not faded yet.

It depends on the scratch. Is it a light scratch just in the lacquer that you cannot even feel with your finger nail? If so, you might have some joy with elbow grease and polish / scratch remover, but I had very little joy myself when I tried this in the past.

If it's a deep scuff, kerb-like mark, then forget it!

Try some Meguiars Scratch X, it's excellent stuff. I'm pretty certain it will be OK for your wheel and will remove the mark provided it's only a surface defect.
