No clear coat for me. I use Surf City Garage, Killer Chrome or Meguiars Mag and Aluminum Polish on my rims. Two minutes a wheel at most and perhaps four times a season and a quick wipe with Windex between polishes keeps them looking like new. Ten years now and little effort to keep them that way. That's what rainy days are for.
