[e] dont actually know but have heard you can have slight dings and scractes sanded out and they come up like new.but have not seen this myself this is why iam asking.i have been told this can be done in the u.s

[meticulous]

i think they must either lightly buff up the plastic after sanding or have them painted...  good luck!!!!

They get media blasted, Waza in NSW does them here in Australia but any good blaster should be able to do them.  It needs to be media blasting though, not shot or sand  .

Stuff like that normally looks better with the battle scares than some gash repair which has a different surface finish to the original, I'd leave them well alone.

+1 on that.  If you really want to devalue your wheels then go for it...
