Re: Clear coat coming off billet wheels

Been there and have delt with this before. I stripped and polished the offending wheels, but the material under the finsih was a mix of alloys and the polishing was not as clear and sharp as I desired. They became a set of Winter ONLY wheels that I did not spend any great amount of time with and then I put on a set of Billets that did have the proper material to shine up. Most company's that have clear coat use cheaper alloys to keep the cost down on the rims.
