Quote: 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.
If you wish to "clear coat" the rims, 2 choices IMHO, powdercoat in clear, or yes POR-15 makes a product for polished/chromed finishes called "Glisten PC" if I recall the name correctly, stuff drys rock hard and stays clear, I did a few motorcycle parts with it.....no issues, as long as you remove all traces of wax/polish and FINGERPRINTS before coating
