Wheel Polishing question

I just purchased Adam's wheel polish 1 & 2. However, I just remembered the lip on my factory sport designs have clear coat on it. Does this mean I should be using something else due to the clear coat?

yes, do not use metal polish on your wheels!!!!!

You can just use a regular polish like you use on your paint.

Well said. Just use any polish you would on your paint since your wheels are clear coated just like the paint on your car.

I never knew Adam's has wheel polishes...

Could we use Metal Polishes 1 & 2 on the stainless steel stove/home applicances? I just did it on the stove and it's shiney.. hopefully the stove does not have any clear coat?

Also, is there a way to tell if the wheel has clear coat or just metal?

Just rub some mild polish on a clean spot. If it keeps coming out black, then it is not clear coated (that's the oxidation coming off). Also. clear coated parts usually have an orange peel finish to them.
