I think you should be able to polish them back with steel wool... working your way down to the super fine grades and then polishing compound. Have never done, just assume it should work. You wouldn't have the clear coat that part anymore tho.

I think you are talking about Chrome Dipping the rims? The stock Swirlies are not Chromed.
