That's because their machines are difference. The guys that does the job in an hour has the newer machines where they just raise the wheel in the air with a jack, put the machine under the wheel to keep it spinning at a constant speed. The Vegas guys' machine just happen to require to take the wheel off the car.

I went to another person in SoCal on my previous car, and he charged $100 per wheel, regardless of how big or small the damage was. It's the same process. They smooth out the whole wheel by sanding it down while the wheel is moving at a constant speed. He then color matches the wheel on site using the same paint that you would actually paint a car with. Then he adds clear coat with catalyst to make sure it lasts.
