i would think you have to add the clear coat if you haven't yet. just to keep it protected. as for rims/wheels, i think this would definately kill the clear coat on them.
mike especially with yours, your shoud prep the surface if you wanna keep the black on there.
good luck with this though. it seems to work.

so if i spray this on my tool box, it'll take the clear right off?
i dont want to spend forever trying to scrape it all off with steel wool, i was debating getting it line-x-ed. but if this stuff will take the clear right off, i'll probably just paint it black and clear that, much much cheaper

"Polished" wheels are pure >polished< aluminum......clear coated wheels are machined, then cleared with powdercoat. As with all factory wheels, you can tell when corrosion eats "underneath" the clear coat and it starts flaking off. So stripping off the clear when its unecessary is a bad idea. Unless you want to have to continue to polish them all the time...
