Hello Luke. How are you? I really need to know if there exist a rim scratch remover. I heard from some article that it does but, I can't find where I can get one of those. I hope you can help me.
Oh yeah also, is it normal for aftermarket rim edges to fade away after 2 yrs?
Thank you for your time. Take care.

If the wheel is a polished aluminum or machine finished aluminum a good metal polishing compound may remove your scratch. If you can not get the scratch out yourself give these guys a call, Ye Olde Wheels Shop their phone # is 800-526-8260.
Hope this helps
Luke

Hello Luke. Thank you so much for your help. Well, Are Antera rims(silver, not chrome) polished aluminum or machine finished aluminum? What about Brabus rims? Thank you for your help. Take care

Both of the wheel manufacturers that you mentioned offer several different finishes. So, I can not answer your question.
Sorry,
Luke

Thank you Luke
how else could you tell?? Just by looking at them?? When I ordered my ANTERA rims and Brabus rims, they only came in silver or chrome. It doesn't say anything in the booklet. Do I need to contact ANTERA or brabus to find it out? It's ANTERA TYPE 145. Hmm.. Help...

Justin,
Usually when you buy a set of rims they tell you what the finish is. (or more commonly you pick the finish by purchasing the wheel that has the finish you want) Look at your invoice, or other purchase information. That should tell you something.

Hope this helps...Lee
