I parked too close to a cement curb, abrased paint on lower edge, what is good way to help remove scratches? The scratches are not real noticable unless looking for them.

best way... don't look at them. If it's not bad enough to get it professionally fixed then leave it. Many on here will give you directions on DIY, but i know a lot of guys (with non vettes) try it and really mess up.... maybe look into these guys?? http://www.awrswheelrepair.com Many dealers have on site wheel repairs as well, so if you have a great dealer you trust, ask them....

PS I had both passenger rims repaired at my dealer and they came out perfect!! (They rims were damaged pretty bad too)

Go to great lengths to avoid curb rash - been there done that and don't want it again. If the bosslady is with me, she gets out and directs and if she isn't, I turn the passenger mirror down so I can see both the curb, the rear wheel and the relationship between the side of the car and the line of the curb.

Watch out for those bumper blocks. Many people have damaged their lower below the bumper fronts. I got lucky at least twice.

I had some light abrasions on both front & rear wheels.....just the outer edge adjacent to the tire bead. Local wheel repair shop quoted me $250 each for repair which seemed pretty steep. Instead I used a 120 grit flap disc (finest I could find) on my hand grinder & very carefully touched up the abraded areas. Then used a buffing wheel & a white polishing stick to finish up. Results are not perfect, but good enough unless you look real close. BTW....got all the materials at a local Harbor Freight store.
