Default What products work on clear coated rims lip?

I've googled and came back with a $hitload of info, but j/w from the Honda community what have you guys used from the local auto stores that works on polishing up your rims with a clear coated polished lip..??

I've seen Mothers makes some clear coat safe stuff but just looking for some more solid information and perhaps even some pictures... I found a place locally that will reclear and polish my rims for $100/piece but that sounded kinda silly for me to spend $400 to polish the lips of $600 rims..

Thanks..!

You could try some meguiars m105 and finish with m205, as they are meant for traditional auto clear. Or use a polishing wheel with some kind of compound, starting with the least abrasive.

Also, depends on what tools you have I e drill or rotary polisher,random orbital etc

I was reading awesome reviews on the Mothers wheel cleaner and on the back it states how it's "acid free" and "great for clear coated rims"... Well, I sprayed it on my wheels and rinsed it off and chunks of clear coat came with it..! =( not a good day for me today..
