OK mothers only & what about clearing (cleaning) the rim?



Clearing the polished rims?

Pros: The clear protects your polish work from oxidizing

Cons: The clear is subject to damage. Easy to crack/peel from a polished surface.

The clear will often reduce the mirror shine to some degree.

I would NOT clear them. I have uncoated aluminum wheels on both my daily driver and 'Cuda and they are just fine.
