Default ws6 rim repair

had a few light scuffs on my factory rims. Sanded them out but lost shine on lip of rim. Is more sanding needed. or is it just a matter of polishing them at this point? How far down can you sand these rims if you have deep gouges like aI have on a spare set?

WS6 rims are clear coated from the factory, so you might have to clear them again to get the shine back.

Here is a before and after pic of one that I repaired, just sanded and polished. My 2001 rims were not cleared.
