No clearcoat = Brilliant shine + difficult to keep clean
With clearcoat = Kinda dull looking (unless new)+ easier to clean

I have a 98 WS6 and stripped the clear cote because I read about how great they shined after words on here. Bad part is as soon as I went through a car wash they looked like sh___t! I have tried many pollishes including the Heavy Metal Polish and it takes way too much time for me. I am going to buy some chrome rims this week actually. I would have to polish once a week for hour each time to even keep them looking at an OK state which is not even shinny.
