Removing small scratches in ASA rim?

I just picked up some ASA AR1's today that are in nearly perfect shape. No curb rash at all, and the only defects what looks like some faint spots of oxidation here and there, which you can barely see. Although, I did knock one of them over into it's face while it was standing straight up as I was examining the tire tread today, and I put some small scratches into the spokes. I think these are painted silver and clearcoated, I don't think they are bare aluminum. Is there any way to polish out scratches on wheels like these?


Here is a pic I snapped this morning. The cell phone "flash" makes it look a heck of a lot worse, but you get the idea.
