Should I have my wheel "fixed" or leave curb rash?

I would even mess with it. Just leave it on the passenger side, just in case another suprise meeting with the curb happens.

AME Circular Spec-R - Nice polished lips. I'll try to take pics when it's light out
I say "fixed" because wheel techniques in Santa Clara said they can take a tiny bit of material off of the cirumference of the outer lip edge and re-polish it, but they would not be re-clear-coating it.
Thay said it has an anodized clear coat that they cannot duplicate. They said I'd have to keep it waxed to prevent discoloration from certain chemicals... in certain car-washes
That doesn't sound good - but maybe I am just overly-cautios.
I hand-wash my own car in my driveway - never use any chemicals or car-washes.
Just wonder how noticeable the transition will be from polished/no clear to polished/clear, and will it weaken the rim?
Thanks in advance...
