Night and Day difference!!

Here's a pic of one of my Pontiac wheels, buffed out with Aircraft quality cutting compound. It's not completely the way I want it, but DAWN it looks sooooo much better!

Anyone else have good luck on these style wheels? Should I clear coat now, or just leave it metal so I can keep polishing them as needed?

When you say "buffed with Aircraft quality compound", what are you referring to?

Since you asked about re-clearcoating, I assume that you mean you stripped the clearcoat with Aircraft Remover. If that is the case, you could re-clearcoat but it would most likely fog up again soon.
