Like Aceyx said, the scuffs won't come off from cleaning. You'd have to repaint or refinish.

i dont really care, some people will get offended even if you call them hispanic. Others prefer latino, some mexican if they are from mexico. It's confusing, but like i said it don't matter, for all you know he was mexican, and you did no wrong.

Lol.. it's like they say in Spanish.. "por uno la llevamos todos"...

That sucks.. I figured it would take much more to gets those marks out.. They're not too noticeable.. which is the good thing...

If I decide to paint them... what would be a good brand/kind of paint to use on them?

Sorry... I'm a little knew at all this car stuff..

I spray WD-40/PB Blaster onto a paper towel and scrub my rims with it, it seems to get the brake dust off pretty well

I've just come across these plastic scrapers that look awesome for this type of work and are much cheaper than the plastic spackle spatulas I've been using. I'm going to order a bunch.
