Clear coating
Just recieved some rims, multi-piece forged aluminum rims. They look fantastic but I noticed they aren't clear coated. So I guess I should send them off to get clear coated...Anyone know a good reputable shop?
Thanks, Chris

I ordered some of this stuff. One application lasts two to three years.

Applied the Zoopseal... It takes quite a bit of prep and cleaning.You can't see the stuff when it dries. I now have to polish the lip and chrome parts. 
Anyhow I tell you how the stuff worked in a couple months.

A yes.............the catch 22. I had my centers cleared on the 97 from HRE to minimize up keep. The lip is easy to do 
But..........the vert's 545s came all polished
and not kept up with to start with either.
I have found
works the best for me. You may want to clear the centers.
Local guys..........I have not used them but others have
