So to be certain, my OEM mags on my 08' "do not have clearcoat" on them????

I've been wanting to use NeverDull on them but know that stuff is not good for anything but raw metal.

Had the same problem with mine. Took alot of elbow grease to remove what looked like water spots. The wheel still did not completely polish out. My solution as I did not want to keep dealing with this was to call ***** Shiney.

Had a set of stock style chrome exchange rears shipped and installed. So far, best investment I've made. When I get some extra bucks, I'll be calling for the front.

I switched from spoked wheels to Streetglide wheels to get something that cleans easier and get rid of the tubed tires.

If you get the chance during the winter, you can take those wheels off and buff them then have them plated at a platting shop, might cost you $100 bucks, but they will all ways look good after that.
