The Mothers Power Ball and polish worked to reduce the appearance of scratches on my ZQ8's. I'm not sure how well it'll work on chrome though.

Re: Buffing wheels?

With chrome, you'll want to use a very fine chrome polish such as #11132 from Griots. Use 100% Cotton or Microfiber towel to polish.

I doubt it if you'll be able to polish out the scratches though. Chrome isn't very forgiving in that area.
