Here's what I learned from the fora. Others may have done fancier things. Some have paid for professional repairs, which will likely yield a nicer result. But this is inexpensive and DIY.I finally rashed mine. What's the best way to fix it?
Remove the wheel cover.
Smooth down the damage. I used a fine file for the worst stuff and then some fine grit sandpaper.
Paint it with this Ford color. Yes, Ford. It's a pretty darn good match: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HE66OK8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
After the paint is done and dry, replace the wheel cover.
If I look closely, I can certainly still see where the damage was. But it no longer draws the eye. We're satisfied.
