Messed up my volks!

While I was washing my car today I decided to use a terry towel to clean my polished lip, little did I know it added a bunch of scratches and fcuked my wheels up. Is there anything I can do about this besides getting it repolished?

scratch x will work wonders on them. let it dry/haze up then remove. re-apply if necessary.

ScratchX is a very mild compound; therefore, it will remove the clearcoat but
not as aggressively as CleanerWax.

With Cleanerwax you can accidentally burn through the clear with about 5 applications
if you put enough pressure. With ScratchX, you'll have to do like 10-11 applications
before you go through with ample pressure.
