    Scratched Factory Wheels

    When I did the detailing on our cars a couple of weeks ago I was using a 500 watt Halogen light next to me. When looking @ the wheels using that light I have tons of scratches that appear to be from some sort of brush/brushes. I would also say that the scratches do not go beyond the clear coat on the wheel. When the light is not on, you cannot see the scratches. I would like to know 2 things, what should I use to remove the many light scratches? And is wheel glaze worth the money? If so, brand? If it matters, the wheels in question are on a 2007 Ford Fusion SEL. Thanks in advance.

    you can polish your wheels with a paint polish to remove imperfections. Using the DP Wheel Glaze is more of a cleaner/protectant but does have some light filling ability also.
