RIM Scratch scrape Fix

I have a small scrape about 1 inch long at the very edge of my volk Le28n, polished lip part, not the paint part.

I was wondering If I can sand it down and polish it with something to make the scratch go away.

I have no experience in sanding rims or anything so I want to know the process if someone knows. I also need the Materials needed if somone knows about fixin scratches on rims please help me out

Thanks

I believe there are wheel specialists out there that can fix most any reasonable wheel damage. There are a few that will even come to your door to fix the problem. I don't remeber exact costs, maybe a couple hundred bucks per wheel. I use these services quite often and am always impressed with the results. My reaction is always, "How the hell did you do that?"
