Curb Rash - How can I fix it?

It bothers me that to save my car from dings from other people's doors i eventually hurt my own car by parking too close to the curb and hitting my new iForged wheels and getting bigtime curb rashes, how can I correct this? It looks horrible, the last one was small, but this one is big, are there solutions i can apply on it, may be some technique one knows?

also how much does refinishing cost?

Another things, the day i got the wheels on, i took the car to a self car wash and when i got back, someone the shiny lip developed a lot of hazze and i havent been able to remove it? what can I do to make it shine like new again.

Thanks in advance..

sorry to hear about your problems. Search wheel repair on the wheel area and you should come up with a couple of solutions. I am not sure if I-forged are clear coated or not but my volks were and they had to remove it and repair the curb rash wheel damage.

my wheels are not clear coated too keep them shiny I just wash with regular car wash soap and use a micro fiber cloth to get in all the grooves then I rinse them off. no brushes no wheel cleaners for non-clear coated wheels

Yeah, so if your wheels aren't clear coated then they can just fil in the curb damage and then re-polish. No worries but plan to spend $125-$150 per wheel and depending on the damage

^^^+1 as I do the same. I try to also always back-up into every slot or space and using both methods has helped a bunch.
