    Here's a question I can't seem to find the answer to:

    Can I polish the wheel barrels on an HGTE wheel or is there some kind of clear finish on them??

    Any information would be greatly appreciated!

    George- Pretty much all of them have a clear coat to protect the finish. So, polish them and have someone clear coat them for you.

    Polishing at a normal level and clear coat works fine like Terry said

    Polishing like a mirror with clear coat on top is difficult, the clear coat will not stick very good on a mirror polished surface.

    Thank you, they look like they have a clear finish on them which I won't touch. I know I could get them really bright if they were not coated.
