Glenn's Wheel Polishing in Tampa, FL does a great job for our shop.

Were you able to get a plate number/buisness name? You can report it to insurance, especially if you have more damage under your car/bumper.

Yeah, think hard about the dump truck's plate or "how am i driving" sticker. I got a flat tire, along with 4 other people, from a truck pulling a trailer cause pieces of the trailer itself broke off. Including their plates. So we all called them and got it fixed lol.
