Need help with some paint issues.

[Intruder]

Hey guys,

I am a usual lurker, but just purchased a 2004 Infiniti G35 with a couple of small paint issues and rim issues. Can someone help me out. I am working by hand.

By hand you want ScratchX, the first picture looks like the etching left by something that sat on the paint too long, you might not be able to completely remove it because likely it's etched or stained too far into the clear coat. With the second picture it looks like a few applications of ScratchX with a little passion behind the pad should fix it.

I was worried that the etching was to far gone. What is the best rim cleaner to tackle the "never cleaned" inner rims?

Pic 3 is also ScratcHX, pic 4 is rusting ,and nothing will fix that.

I am also curious about fixing rim defects. how can scratches and curb rash be fixed?

How bad would a light cleaning with a SOS pad on the inside of the rim damage the wheel. Follow that up with a coat of wax?
