Help!! How do I remove scracthces from my chrome wheels?

I was cleaning my chrome wheels yesterday and noticed some surface scratches on the lips. Is there any way to minimize or eliminate them? What product(s) and procedure(s) can I use to get rid of the scratches? Please help! Thanks.

If you don't already, I'd recommend using a polymer sealant on them; give them a little protection from the elements and make them easier to clean. The sealant would be preferred over a wax as the wax wouldn't hold up to the heat very well.

There's alot of sealants out there, Meguiars NXT 2.0 seems to be pretty popular lately for an easy to find over the counter product. I've never used it but it seems to get good reviews and should do a good job for wheels. You can find that almost anywhere; Walmart or most auto-parts store.
