aluminum rim scratch

anyone know if there is something you can use to clean these up? I was putting a rotary wheel center in and accidentally knocked one of the tires over. My rim has a tiny ding in it now. I didn't know if there was some compound or something I could use to make it look pretty again.

Exclamation slight topic detour ahead

Pmacwill,
I should be receiving my rotary centers Monday from Trussville.
Any tricks to changing out the centers? Curious if the old centers get damaged on removal.

If that doesn't work you can always have a custom wheel shop fix a rim. It may cost 50 bucks or so it depends on how bad damage is
