Hi, im new to this forum and im going to be redoing my rims. They are clear coated over polish aluminum from what ive read, but the clear is peeling badly and even oxidating and they just look bad overall. Mostly from water that dries on them in the summer.
So im planning on stripping the clear coat using aircraft stripper, then polishing the rims using adams #1 and #2 metal polish, and finally adding a clear coat layer to keep them a bit safer.
But my question is will a spray can coat work decently? I keep hearing its not going to work on polished surfaces and that a powder coat clear will dull the polish from the prep work.
Anyone had good results with a spray on clear coat over a polish finish?
