Refurbishing Polished Alloys

Most UK wheel refurbishment companies won’t touch polished alloy rims, the few that do don’t clear coat them (only hand wax them) As the lifting clear coat is only on the rims and has only just started, I can strip and re-polish them myself. I was hoping to discover a clear coat that had better adhesion properties, such as in the marine or aviation industries. This looked promising Link but there is no info on the product. I think your right cre powder coat seems to be the only reliable solution.
