Eagle One rims Polish is great *PICS*

Well as you may have read, I just picked up some 16" Iroc-Z rims off of an '87 Iroc, with new pirllies on the rear and new toyos on the front.
I just finished polishing them all using Eagle One Nano Wheel Polish, a dremel and some arm power. They look awesome, one wheel is a little rough.. but not bad. I will probally send them to Carcones, if the price is right
Regardless, heres what everyone always wants.. PICTURES :
Before Polish
All four getting ready (The gf is out today, so Im going to polish AND watch TV.. shhh) :

Did you remove the clear coat, and actually polish the aluminum? They look like really clean factory finish wheels. Nice work one way or the other, they will look nice on the car.

Clear is still on for right now, polished the original finish. In the summer, clear will be coming off

If those are original wheels and not somebody's half-done refinishing project, then they should still have a factory clear coat finish on them, which means that although your aluminum polish got you the results you were after, you could have saved a LOT of time just using a hand glaze and automotive wax.

That was kind of where I was going when asking if the clear coat had been removed. You should wax your wheels now, cause it will provide better protection than aluminum polish.
