Default Alloys need refurbing after new tyres fitted...

Is it just me, or does anyone else suffer from useless tyre fitters..............
Both rear alloys on my Crossfire (base, not SRT) are now scagged around the rims after fitting new Continentals.
Will have a go at refurbing myself as i have seen the refurb procedure using Wurth products here on the forum.
Does the Wurth silver match our alloys????????

I had a puncture repaired and the tire had to be put back onto the rim. I told the guy if he could not do it without scuffing the rim that I would go elsewhere and have it fitted. He said no problem as he never did any damage to rims, guess what. Only 1/2" long but wtf, 'sorry' is all I got, not going back anymore.

I just had tires put on, and I have to say I'm disappointed by the marks they left on the wheels from mounting.
