Polished Wheels
Well I polished my wheels while I had them off for a tire change. Has anyone found a way of clearcoating polished wheels that works? I tried but did not get good adhesion. I used the chems that PPG called for but it didn't work. A paint guy told me that the auto factories bake their wheels at 400 degrees to get the clear coat to stick. Surely, there is another way.

1st of all i havent tried it.......
i do know you can clear powder coat them
not sure if they are "baked"
have seen them....... looks good
dont know how long it lasts
of course that depende on the prep to polish
& the prep to paint
ask aroun...... at least check your "best" shop
that coulld do them
good luck

i was just watching Trucks this morning and there is a product called Zoop Seal that when applied will last up to 2 years.....no need to keep polishing the rims every other day...repels brake dust and the elements...im assuming that this product can be applied to motorcycle rims...i will order some and try it out

Most definitely let us know how the Zoop works. Is it an over the counter thing or at the auto parts store?
