Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Aesthetics Clear Coating stock rims

Finally got around to detailing my car saturday, and my stock wheels are in pretty bad shape. There's some kind of rust colored stuff caked all over one of them and i can't get it off by conventional means. My next step is to take an abraisive pad and clean it off that way...which will scuff up the surface. The plan is to then take a fine sandpaper and scuff up the rest of the visible part of them rim and clear coat over it. I'm going to have them off the car soon to switch so summer rims, so it would be the perfect time to do it...and the others if needed. Any other tips?? I'm not worried about them being perfect, just presentable.
