Default Curbed Rim

Well its been raining like crazy all day here in florida. (as usual) and I was slowly taking a turn and the back of my car kinda hydroplaned in a puddle ( drag radials) and my rim scraped on a curb. It isnt that bad, but doesnt anybody have any tips on how to remove the scuff or kind of hide it?
I used steel whool on my stock rims when I curbed them and it smoothed it down but I could still see the marks. Any suggestions?

there are certain places that can redo the finish of the rims and add in extra metal to completely smooth them out. I've had it done to one of my rims when I got into a car accident. it turned out absolutely flawless. Looks like a brand new rim, that would be my recommendation to getting it perfect.
