Repolishing lips on rims

I had my rear rims refinished. I have work T1S rims.

After i got them back, after one wash, it was scratched to hell and no longer had that mirror like finish like my front rims. I suspect no clearcoat was applied.

does anyone know of a good wheel refinishing place in the GTA?

Thanks,

I had all 4 of mine refinished and painted. I was really impressed with their work.

You will need to get the lips clearcoated to keep them from oxidizing.

I forgot to mention that you should also apply a wheel sealer such as Chemical Guys Wheel Guard....http://www.eshine.ca/chemical_guys_w...rd_8oz-841.php. Candy for your wheels.

All you do is apply a clear coat.

I cannot apply clear coat or a sealant if the actual surface is all scratched up
