getting a set of GTA rims.

I'm gonna be getting a set of GTA rims from a friend of mine fr very cheap but there's a reason.

One of the rims has been ghettoe touched up, from what it looks like someone took 600 grit and sanded the bowl on one of the rims in a effort to polish it, but all they did was scratch the crap out of it.

I'm gonna be stripping the clearcoat and polishing them so does anyone know what I can do to get the scratches out of the out bowl of the rim to make it look close to the other in reflectivness.?

I'd strip them and sand it again with 600, then 800, then 1000 to get it nice and smooth.
He may have just scratched the clear coat, so when you strip it it should look like this,
