[Vwdiesel] Cam lobe wear?

I hadn't taken a good look at my TD cam since I took it apart last year, and 
now I see it seems to have a fair bit of wear on the lobes. The pointed 
parts are smooth an shiny, but the rest of the lobes show some scuffing - 
how much is acceptable? Is there anything I can do to polish this myself, or 
should I look for a used cam, or have it polished?

I've posted some pics here, any advice appreciated...
