you just grind the scratches out, sand the lip smooth with finer paper, and polish it back out all while keeping the shape and polishing lines uniform. If it cleared they make this stuff called blender and you can spray it on the edge and it will blend to the clear on the rest of the lip.

I always wish we have cameras pointing at the wheel too to see how far or close I am to the edge.
