Question How to minimize the appearance of scratchs on polished lip?

I have a a couple of scratches on one of my Volk wheels on the polished lip. Will a metal polish help minimize the appearance of the scratch? I don't know if Volk clear coats their wheels or not.

Would like to hear some suggestions also. When my dealer serviced my G for my free oil change, they slightly scratched all my wheels (by the valve stem) while adjusting my air in each tire??

I'm not sure if you were aware, but Volk wheels are clearcoated..even the lips. So the scratches you see are on the clear coat. Perhaps try a paint polish on there because it's not straight aluminum to polish.

alright, so using metal polish would be pointless then, correct?
