Shiny wheels

Eric R. said:

well, I’ve got my wheels off of my r3t for a tire change, and I’ve been polishing the hell out of them with mother’s aluminum polish. It’s a lot easier with the wheel on my work bench, that’s for sure.
My question is has anyone ever used something like Krylon clear spray to give the wheel a protective coating, similar to a factory clear coat? My last bike, a vn 1700 Nomad had clear coated wheels that were much easier to maintain than my rockets wheels.
I really don’t want to strip everything off for a powder coat job. That’s going a bit far for my comfort level.
Thanks Eric
