clearcoat wheels?
Wheels on the 81 are neglected and abused...have them off and with tools and elbow grease will remove major flaws and polish them up...Now the question. Will I need to clearcoat them? If so, is there a best brand? I have done lots of car things for 40 years, but never this. Always eager to learn. Thanks in advance. Stevo

If you don't clear them...you'll have to polish them very often. I just had my wheels refinished. They are clear coated and look great. I just hit them with a hose and mild wheel cleaner...then wipe dry.

don't put a clear coat on it.. it will turn yellow over the years and fall off just like the previous clear coat did.. i just sanded mine, then polished them.. they look like chrome.. you just have to polish them more often then if they were clearcoated
