This is 2 years old now. Polished and clear coated. The clearcoat has a slight honey hue compared to the bare aluminum.

You can use the POR-15 product called "glisten" if you wish to clear over polished parts. THe stuff doesn't yellow and looks incredible. They are located up in Sacramento I believe. If you were closer I'd consider polishing it for you.

Using Zoop Seal after you polish would be my recommendation.

Would you guys recommend either the Por-15 or the Zoop seal if the end use is polished aluminum wheels? I have heard what a no-no it is to clear wheels as it just chips and yellows/dulls.

Whaddaya think?

I used POR on my rims after polishing. A year and a half later they still look great. Highly recommend.

Thanx guys those motors are awsome. Every hot rod I have had has been polished and chromed to the max. I would have taken it somewhere to have it done but was scared about them screwing up a part like cam covers.
