Jager - can you tell if the paint dries hard enough to not use the sandwich bag for future wheel removals or will it scuff? It looks great!

I removed one bolt today with a six-point socket without a plastic bag... Looks like I scuffed one area a little bit. Since the instruction on this wheel coating product say it fully cures in 7 days, I will remove a couple bolts next week and see how the finish holds-up.

I use a wheel cleaner every time I wash the car, most likely the chemicals in the cleaner accelerated, or caused, the corrosion in the first place. Hopefully this new coating will eliminate that from happening again.
