What is recommended for clear coating the aluminum? I just had my set of
Z-wheels polished and am in the process of having the valve cover of my 2L
buffed.
I tried using a clearcoat of one of the wheels but it left a cloudy finish
(looked OK but didn't have the "all out shine" I was wanting). It also
didn't stick too well, which I noticed when I accidentally scraped the
edge-It "flaked" at the abrasion. Is there a special clearcloat that is
more durable for aluminum and is able to withstand the heat of the engine
compartment?
Thanks
