Default Dealer messed up my Volks

Hey guys,
To make a long story short the dealer messed up my Volk SF Challenge. I dont know what they sprayed on the Rims but what ever it was made them all cloudy.

Does anyone know of a Rim repair shop in the Bay Area?

Volk GT and SF series have a clearcoat on the lip and its well known that it clouds up with certain detailing spray. You can polish it out or remove the clear coat and then polish the bare aluminum.

Yeah the dealer tried to polish them and they made it worse. Which Is why I was hoping someone here has used someone in the bay area. The only lead I have is Dipsh*it in Sac.

Thanks for not calling me a wheelwho*e, Trav.

But yeah OP, sorry, no help. Few places I know of that seem to do a good job with powder but no refinish help.

What part of bay area? I've heard of this place - http://www.wheeltechniques.com/ - here in South Bay and I got a quote from them once. T'wasn't cheap for a refinish only. Can't recommend, no experience.
