I took the car in this morning and they tried cleaning the rims with no luck of removing the stains. The guy in the service department desk told me to let the sit for a couple days and call back.

My question is are these rims ruined or will time and repeat cleaning cure the stains and make my rims the way they were before I took my car to the dealership?
Im willing to bet they sprayed a type of degreaser on your rims an let it dry on there. I will be honest with you if this is the case tell them to get then refinished cause that will be the only way it will be back to normal. I have seen those tiger stripes alot!
