1975 model no rust (eternal optimist) some original paint and "decent" Fuchs. I painted the car this off season and wishing to clean up the wheels a bit. Within the Matte area there were scratches from a prior restorer. I went after it with a 2" disc 2000 grit to remove the scratches. Most of the scratches are coming out, but leaving a more polished look. How can I get the matte finish back?
TIA

You can use some red scotch brite. It will dull up the finish but probably won’t reproduce the finish exactly the way it was before.
