Just scratched my rim, I was in a hurry and for the first time ever had it washed at a car wash. I know. I know. I am an idiot. I only wish I read that post last week where the same thing happened to two people prior to it happening to me but oh well. Know I have to fix it any people tried sanding?? or costs of having an expert fix it, the scratches are on two spokes and are about 3/4 inch and 1 1/4 inches long but they seem deep.
HELP?

Thanks in advance for any response.

The tire dealer that caused all of the damage will be having all of the wheels refinished for me, when I take the car into him to have it done. I will try and find a day next week or the week after. I am tired of looking at the wheels already!

I will let you know how they come out.

The wheel is put back into a mold and is sort of recast, or something like that.

Honestly I don't know! That is what the guy told me, but I am not sure.

Sandpaper of various grades, Filling compound, matching paint, clear gloss, spray paint or airbrush kit, Mequiar's polish (heavyduty and finalcut), electric buffer, masking tapes and a whole weekend.
Might be cheaper to get a quote from a workshop.
Sure makes you drive and park carefully in future.

$90-$100 per wheel assuming not bent
