Nice work, I always liked those polished over the brushed look. You really should look into some kind of sealer for them or you will be pissed when you have to do it all over again. Watch which wheel cleaners you use, if you can, take them off in the winter, and don't go through the car wash with them hot.

Sharkhide is supposed to be a great sealer for that but its expensive! Seen it on Hotrod Tv and the stuff is legit:

I checked it out, its expensive, but if it works it would be worth it. I spent forever getting all the clearcoat off, so I'm never going that route again.

Thanks Tex, gotta keep those spiders shooting! I think the Mothers polish should keep them protected for about 3 or 4 months after a good polish, after what I've seen on the YouTube. I'll also be running my stock wheels thru the winters, so they'll be high and dry out of the salt.

If you have a spare you could do one at the time. Are yours still clear coated? Its really not that hard, just time consuming.
