    FCAE4D5E-76DE-4B9C-8213-8C5327C81ADF.jpg Hey all. Got hosed by the tire shop. Assuming they deny all responsibility. What’s my options on getting these cleaned up and less noticeable?

    all four got it.

    . Even on a alloy clear coated rim?

    I'm betting those scratches are either beyond the clear or too deep into it to buff out. Believe it or not, I take detailed pictures of my rims before I get new tires. See what the tire shop says. There are wheel refinishing places that can repair that damage fairly easily.

    I agree, most of those refinishing places are 5hrs from were I live. I should have stuck with the shop that does all my tires for the past 15 years. Guess it was an expensive lesson.
