Some advise please: I have a set of alloy wheels with polished rims (see photo when new) the protective clear coat has just started to lift in some places on the rims, allow corrosion to start. If I refurbish them by stripping the clear coat, re-polishing and then applying a clear coat I will be back to where I started in 12-18 months time. The problem is: being a polished surface there’s less mechanical strength for adhesion of the clear coat. The only options the way I see it are listed below. Appreciate any advise.
1. Forget the shiny bling look and re-spray sliver.
2. Strip the clear coat and re-polish, leave un-protective apart from applying a wheel wax/polish every 1-2 weeks or so.
3. Powder coat with a chrome/black finish, (shadow chrome) probably the same adhesion problems as the clear coat and expensive.
4. Research for a better clear coat, epoxy or solvent based.
