Default IS 350 F-Sport Wheels - Random Marks

Hello Everyone,

Forgive me if this was already discussed or mentioned. Everytime i look at my rims i notice very fine lines in the finish, yea, they are probably scuff marks from road rocks, etc. I really cant see them unless i look very closely, but I know they are there. Is there a way I can try to buff them out, or even minimize the appearance of such marks? I dont want to take it to a shop just for that, so I'm hoping there may be a wheel cleaner product out there which can work well. Again, i don't think these marks are deep cuts into the wheel finish. If anyone has the same issue or sees random very fine scuff marks and they have a solution. Just to give an idea, they are not from curb rash. i will take a photo and attach it later on.
Thanks for all your help.

I can't even see my wheels under all that dust. . Maybe you can try putting on a sealant on the wheels next time you wash the car.

Here, I hear you. i can see all the blemishes once i clear the brake dust. I will have to do that your suggesting, just annoying. I'm not sure if its the build quality or what. When i had my 2IS i didnt have this issue, at least i dont think

Does anyone know what the 2014 IS F Sport 19" summer tire wheel option material is? It looks like black chrome...........and does hide the dust well. Is it a colored coating that may scratch off?
If I knew what material the wheels are we could better address how to protect, repair, etc.
