Touching up hairline scratch on alloy wheel?

[Birdster]

Hi,

Bit of a fail on my part. Was cleaning the car today and scratched my alloy wheel. The brush exposed the metal used to hold the fibres in. Not sure if it was me brushing too hard, or if the brush failed, but it's never done that before, so I'm putting it down to my own carelessness when using the back of the brush to wash. I must have pushed it too hard. I will seek out a brush that's made of mircrofibre, it should avoid this problem. Unless anyone can recommend one? I use microfibres, two buckets, detailing spray etc to dry off. All well and good for the past year so a bit peed off with myself.

I've used polish and scratch remover on the smaller bits and they appear okay. The bits in the pictures I fear may need a wheel refurb.





Can the touch up kit help here?

Is a refurb the only way to go?

I'm concerned with preventing further damage from the elements and at least making it less noticeable as you walk past.

Thanks
