Unhappy Fine scratches on ALL of the spokes of my LE37!

I need your help...I keep my car covered during the winter season, since I do not use it. It was nice in NoVA over the weekend, so I decided to uncover my car, and started it just to make sure that everything is okay.

I looked at my wheels (Volk LE37t) and noticed that all of them have fine sratches on the spokes! I am pretty certain that these were not there the last time I saw the car. They are very fine scratches, and it looks like its on the clear coat. I tried appyling scratchX and it did not do anything. Has anyone have this same thing happen? I am using a Noah car cover that should not harm the clear coat, and that the only thing that I can think of that might have done it.

So my issue is...How do I remove these scratches? It is not that visible, but when the sun hits it, it is very obvious. Please I need some help, I am planning to part out the car this spring and wanted to sell the wheels in good condition.

Do any of you guys recommend a product that I can use to take them off? An advice on what steps I should do (wash/polish/wax/seal) Please let me know, I'd really appreciate it!!

I'd use a machine with 4" pads and some polish like Menzerna 106.

MAKE SURE you protect your lips from any polish or chemicals.

and be sure to put some protectant on the wheels after you polish them...

a good synthetic with at least a coupla coats is a good idea.
i follow up when they get at all dusty with a dusting and then detail spray with either carnauba or synthetic in it.
