Having a clear film put on might be a option also.
The issue will be that you removed the clear and paint sealants and coatings are designed to adhere to the clear, not bare metal. If it was mine I would put the rim coating on it and see how it does

As for painted stuff on a bike, Polish Angel Cosmic V2, topped with their High Gloss. Nothing looks better on polished paint then this combo.

Not a troll Scott. Been here a while and received some great info on my motor and audio build along with some other stuff. I try and help with info I have gathered over the years doing paint correction and vehicle maintenance that pertains to this kind of stuff.
Ive had a side gig detailing vehicles for 10+ years. Ive been around a polisher a few times. When I see Pledge referenced it hits a nerve. Some people think that its the best thing since sliced bread.
My apologies then. Thanks for the guidance. Just a misunderstanding on my part, I guess.
