I have a 2003 suburban with allow wheels. I can shine them well, but they have scratches. Is there anything that I can purchase to help minimize the scratches? Thanks for any advice.

If there are just a few individual scratches on each wheel i would try scratch x and alot of elbow grease. If its the whole wheel then i suggest and all in one like xmt 360. This is assuming that your wheels are clear coated.

Thanks for the reply. I will check with the factory and try your suggestions.

most OEM wheels are clearcoated and must be treated like paint versus metal. Tread carefully ....
