Clearcoating Aluminum?
Whats up, members? I bought unfinished polished aluminum rims (no clear) and my uncle, who is quite the gear head and worked on cars for years, swears to me I need to get them cleared. He said that after one winter, they will never look the same.
I live 45-minutes within the Philadelphia area, so we do get some snow but I'm quite meticulous with my vehicles and thought I'd be able to keep up with them with polish and proper cleaning. I contacted one guy and he said he wouldn't be interested in doing it because it peels because the clear has nothing to "grab" onto. Does anyone have any recommendations or first hand experience? I don't want to waste money on someone who will simply take it to do a job that will peel in a couple months. The guy I originally spoke to was respectable in how honest he was so now I don't know what to do.
