His and Hers

Getting them closer alike...






Bought the X wheels dirty for a decent price. Cleaned them up to find a few scratches and peeling clear coat. Any suggestions to bring them to their former glory?

You could try a polishing compound, but if the clear is peeling you will likely need to wet sand and clear coat them. I would recommend an automotive grade out of a HVLP/LVLP or 2K rattle can.

Or you could leave it because they look great in the pictures.
