This is what you want http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wheels.../prod_499.html

Best stuff as its not acid based like everything you'd find in a high street shop, so it wont do any damage to whatever type wheels you have, and it will shift all that crap off.
Just take a look at some of the customer reviews and the pictures

Im no expert but i know you can buy clear lacquer which can cover up holes where the lacquer has chipped off, but then you need silver paint or something to put ontop of that.
Were talking very small marks by the way, if its too bigger repair it will look crap if you try and touch it up yourself, and you'd be best off getting it repaired properly by a refurber
