damaged my wheels... Advice..

I just got a set of RH J8 wheels in super black chrome. I bought maguires chrome wheel cleaner which says safe on polished and chrome. I washed my wheels today and the lips fogged up and I guess are ruined. I tried wheel wax but the lips are still gazed. Where do I go to get the wheels repolished and how much does this usually cost? Thank you.

You lips are neither polished(bare) nor chrome, they are anodized. That is why you f'd them up. you will now have to find a way to strip the anodizing and then repolish. Since those wheels are welded, its going to be difficult to find a shop to do it for you.

The wheels aren't damaged. Sounds like it needs to be cleared.
