That looks like clear coat that's coming off. When I got my '81, the rims were nasty. There's a guy in Kona who restores rims for a living so I took them to him and he made them better than new and clear coated them so they'd stay that way longer. I was a bit surprised at the clear coat, but he told me that most polished aluminum is clear coated to protect it.
Clear coat on wheels?
I’m wondering if my 1982 Collector Edition Corvette has clear coat on the wheels? I just purchased her and she was delivered on Monday! I am absolutely in love with her! I have been clearing on her to make her shine to her full potential but the wheels have been a little tougher than I would like 😢. There’s like a firm on them in some places but not in others. I have ordered flitz metal pre clean but haven’t received it yet. So please help me
