Brake fluid (?) on wheels

Took my I30 to dealer today to get the TSB done for the brake judder (rotors). Picked it up after the service dept closed. Noticed what I thought was grease on a couple of the wheels. THought I'd get it off when I got home. When I get home some of it comes off and some doesn't. I've tried 2 different wheel cleaners and rubbed very hard with cloth towel. Looks like it is in the finish now. Does anyone have any ideas what will help remove this, I think it is maybe brake fluid they got on the wheel?????

Thanks!!

Sounds like you could be right... or brake cleaner. Do you think it'll damage it worse if you tried harsher cleaners? If so... you might should take it back to the dealer that did the work and (try to) get them to refinish your wheels.
