Damaged Alloy Wheel help

Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction, My alloy wheel clear coat has seemed to gone milky/patchy in spots/sections over the wheel, The wheel feels still very smooth to touch so not pour us.

I used an alloy Cleaner which Contains sulfuric acid and ammonium bifluoride and I think I left it on too long before washing off and since then I have this problem.

I had a Touch up guy out today who has said the only way to fix is get the entire wheel re sprayed but before I do I though I would ask you guys for some feedback?

Thanks guys
J

Post a pic?

And next time use an acid free wheel cleaner, like meguiars (better) and armorall (cheaper) lol

If it's eaten away at the paint maybe respraying is the way to go - but you could always try do a touch up in the affected areas.
