Chrome Wheel Scratch
Hi, Rookie Corvette owner. 2016 2LT Z51 Laguna Blue Convertible. Optional chrome wheels.
The other day while cleaning my Corvette after a day long road trip, I noticed an approximate 1 inch mark on one of the spokes on the right rear chrome wheel. Using my finger nail I determined it was a shallow scratch. It is noticeable when the sun shines just right on the wheel.
I searched the Forum for suggestions to remove the scratch and found them somewhat confusing. Can't polish out scratches because chrome is very hard; clear coat on the wheels, etc.
I was wondering if I could fill in the shallow scratch with some clear coat? I would appreciate any suggestions on how to remove this scratch.
Thanks. Please drive safe.

I am having a very difficult time posting pictures on the Forum. I believe my picture files are too large.
If you go to a thread posted by Mike Furman two Sundays ago you will see a picture of my Corvette that I e-mailed him and he up loaded.
I am David D from Hagerstown in the Mike Furman post. My Corvette is pictured next to the helicopter I fly. I took delivery from Mike on 21 July. His weekly Sunday post for 26 July ? also contains pictures of my Corvette.
If you send me your e-mail address I will directly send you more pictures of my Corvette.
Please drive safe.
