Wort Chiller Issue

[Jerkey]

Hello all. I am new to brewing and was trying to clean my new copper Submersible Wort Chiller in a strong white vinegar and water solution. Well I left it in the mix for about 3 or 4 days and now my wort chiller looks dull and lost its nice shiny copper look. Did I ruin it or is it ok?

Thanks,

Mike

IIRC, black or green stuff need to go, but shiny or dull copper colored should not matter.
