Front-right wheel scraped last night after years of being cautious, embarrassment least to say..
It is light scratched, any way to DIY or any good shops around Orlando for this type of mess?

or just take it to a pro shop, pay about 20-50 bucks and buy a 6 pack.

or get a jeweler with a motor to buff that out for you. guy would need a plug to plug in the motor, and he can use jewelers rouge to polish that right out. it will be taking metal off but it will be lots faster and better looking than an auto body shop. how do i know this? my dad is one. we mirror finished my guns, you can do it with any metal. you just need a buffer to put against that thing.
