Default PolisiNG GSR blades

Hey guys, so I wanna polish my gsr blades because the inside spokes are peeling and not looking good, the outside wheels themselfs are still shiny though, 2 have minor curbs and between lugs paint peel. Im not sure if I should just remove the clear with air craft and repolish all the wheels or is the stock clear coat better than polish in terms of lasting. Also, do people polish the inside of the spokes, because I never heard anyone realky mention that on their DIY threads. Please input your suggestions and feedbacks. Thanks

Do people polish in between the spokes too? Because I don't see any pics of those. Also, would take forever to do every corner edge between spokes. Let me know

If I apply clear coat after polish, will it make them cloudy? What kind of clear coat and where could I buy it if it will be safe to do it after polish.

Im not even sure if mine are polished or oem clear coat. I put the alluminum mag polish stuff on the wheels to make them shiny and it didnt become black, like some people's does. Can someone give me some more info about this please. Thanks. Those blades look clean man.

I did the spokes as well... Think it looks better grey! Polished face stands out more.. Plus its a sh** load of work removing the paint from the spokes and polishing...

Yea it is a load of work and time consuming to do the spokes. Im just going to clean off the spokes because there's paint peels. Should I just wet sand them to clean it off or how should I go about doing them?
