90 bronco wheel clean up.. what do you recommend

I bought a set of 90 bronco wheels today ( the 7.5" versions ) going on my 65 ford f100! I think they will look good on there.

the wheels look great from a few feet away.. but when you get close you can see the clear coat ( if that is what it is? ) has blemishes... so the question of the day.. what to do ?!

can I use aircraft stripper to clean the clear off and polish the metal?

I tried a test with some oven cleaner ( i was told this would work .. and it did clean overspray of clear off my shift lever that got clear on it when the truck was cleared-- took some effort though) This saw no real change... so wondering if it is clear or anodizing.. which i've used oven cleaner to strip off that as well.. got me. help would be appreciated!
Thanks guys!

Yes, the air craft paint stripper is the normal stripper used on wheels. Then polish them up as much as you like and put some kind of protective coating over it (ie clear coat or wax.)

id go with wax vs clear coat, over time the clear coat tends to tarnish and the wheels look like they have a yellowish film over them just my opinion
