Should you use clearcoat on rims?

As experts, our advice is always to use clear coat on rims. This clear coat acts as a varnish that protects the color paint from outside influences. By using a 2K clear coat for wheels, you protect the color from stone chips, brine, road salt, brake dust, acids and UV rays. Without clearcoat on your rims, the paint can damage and discolor faster.
