try using fine grade wet n dry, start with 400's then finish off with 1000's, and they will even look shiney, or if the brake rub is only minor just use 1000's with fairy liquid water.... ;)
R.I.P  O.M. Far short of the finish line...

Like meticus says  :daumenhoch:  I would Finish off with 1200's grade .

If they are only slightly marked  T'Cut is good or Autosol as this has abrasive properties too  :daumenhoch:

I have used Mer polish in the past to good effect but i dont think you should really wax your rims  :-\ for obvious reasons  :D

I used a 3M finishing sponge - bit more forgiving than paper on a block as you don't get fold's which can cut in  ;)
