Yea, i think if you took a fine grit sand paper and went the direction of the machining "cuts" in the metal, it should look ok. I had a set of wheels on a camaro that had the lips machined like our fatboy wheels. They had some scratches on them and the sand paper did the trick. Might be worth a try.
Small scratches are strange & sometimes appear out of no where. I did some polishing last Sunday and noticed some new ones. I am in the camp of just leaving them alone. They will drive you nuts otherwise.
