Scratches on '04 18" wheels

I've got some semi deep surface scratches on all my wheels (stay away from All About Tires in Toughkenemon, PA) and am wondering if this is something a detailer can buff out. Can the wheels be buffed? I figure yes, but need someone with experience to help out.

Thanks folks!

As for your actual question, if the scartches are in the cleacoat they can be carefully buffed. 99% of the time when I see scartched wheels they are beyond the clear though and warrant professional repair.

Work done but paint doesn't match. Better than the scratches though.

The paint doesn't match? Bummer - it's actually not that difficult to match. Oh well, at least it looks better.

Can you post some pictures of the work? Before pics would be great too if you have them as well. Thanks
