Re: clear coating wheels They're polished, so all you have to do is polish them up a bit every couple days.. I don't think you really want to clearcoat them, because it might start chipping or flaking off......

Re: clear coating wheels Steel wool on polished aluminum? Wow even with OOOO that's not a very good idea! Get some Wenol, the blue tube, you use it with a soft cloth (go to walmart or somwhere and buy some white flannel) rub it on and then rub it back off. That will get everything nice and shiny again. If some of the spots or brakedust isn't wanting to come off with the blue, get a tube of the red (it's what you use to hand polish, the blue is for things that are already polished). Good luck.
