    Re: Finishing my Rims

    I would have them clear coated after you polish them. Just my $.02. Then you can Opti Coat them after if you wish.

    Clear coating would be smarter, but I might forgo that till I need to replace the tires, probably next year.

    Re: Finishing my Rims

    It's time consuming to have to polish them all the time. Reminds me of when I had to do that for my bikes GSXR750 & ZX-7...

    I'm hoping it will be a once a year thing with the right products. If a nano coating doesn't work, I'll be looking into getting them cleared professionally.

    I''ve got PBL wheel coating on my wheels now but they're chrome and it's such a breeze to clean. Hope it all works out for you

    Thanks!

    I'll most likely be ordering new pads and the opti coat in the morning.

    Made a rookie mistake and ordered 5" pads for flex 4 3/8" BP. Guess I need 5.5".
