Nope, you'll be fine.
Without the clear, the bare aluminum WILL oxidize, but no more so than it's going to once you polish with all the compounds! Once the clear is gone, you're FOREVER a slave to those wheels!!!!!!!!
Ask me how I know.

Re: quick question about polishing rims
I polished my rims and the clear pilled and it left spots. I still haven't had the time to repolish and spray a new layer of clear on it would this get rid of the spots. It literally spotted right after i sprayed off the polish. Needless to say i was pretty dissapointed with the results. Any hope in saving my rims?
