Hey guys, I was wondering if you could help me with something. I recently purchased 4 20" Foose Nitrous Chrome Rims for my 08 GT. This past weekend I took the car to a local car wash (no brushs, done by hand) and they scratched up one of my rims. I know stupid move on my part

From what I can tell it looks like the track that the car goes on at the car wash is what did it. It has rubber rails and as the car rollled throught the car wash it scratched the whole outer rim/lip. There is no damage like curb rash but its all swirled and dulled from the rubbing.

Anyone have any ideas how I can fix this or if its even possible or do I have to by a new rim? I tried some Mother Chrome Polish and it did nothing.

One last thing is during the day unless you stick your face right against the wheel you dont see it. But at night you see it clearly when lights hit it.

hmmm....good question...I hope someone can answer it for you. I have chrome rims too but you said it ...I would not go to a car wash to get it cleaned...you live and learn...so the chrome is marred and swirled?...any pics?

Try using a car polish(Meguair's Fine Cut polish) on the wheel.It might or might not work.Car polish is not that abrasive.
