Don't worry, you haven't killed the wheels, maybe the detail shop will step up to their mistake T.C. |

I would think if they have 20 years experience, they must be stand up guys. I would ask them to pay for refinishing. Those wheels are magnesium and without the clearcoat they would dull in just a few days out in the elements. They need to be stripped, and clearcoated once again...
