tom karen Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Want to polish my new aluminim wheels from Cardio Doc. Bought some Mothers wheel polish, but it says not to use on wheels with clear coat. Would anyone know if the aliminum wheels from a 2002 Deville would have clear coat on them or not. Don't want to do something stupid and ruin them. Thanks for any help on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonA Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Yes, I think they would have clear coat. Regardless, I'd just use standard auto body wax.

rek Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 As j. said, at least the show side is clear coated. A way to test is to use regular wax. If the rag doesn't get darkened, it's probably coated. My OEM wheels weren't coated on the inside (turned the rag dark). I waxed them with Meguiar's #20 Poly sealant. A cheaper poly wax is NuFinish. NuFinish has more cleaning ability than #20, so I used it on the inside. Shine on... rek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 I think they are all clear coated to help prevent corrosion from road salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
