Repairing clearcoat on scratched polished alloy wheel

I have a small mobile alloy wheel repair company and I'm having a problem with some polished alloy wheels with small scrapes just in clearcoat.I have removed clearcoating and polished spots slick and shinning but when clearing the wheel can not get a match with the wheel and the repair area. Would apperciate any help on this subject.

Try a product by Cyndan Aus called Diamond Glazing. Clears over with negligable effect on lustre so you can judge the surface finish easier and is compatible with 95% of surface finishers and sealants.
