Default Wheel Clear Coating Question

I have a small leak in my front right brake and the fluid is running out onto my wheel :eek: The result is of course small sections of clear coat comming off out of each slot hole :mad
Can I get the wheel recoated or would it be easier to remove all of the clear coat. How horrible is the upkeep of an uncoated wheel. Not a daily driver, it only sees rain if it not expected.(considering our weather forcasters I'm suprised it does'nt happen more often :jester )

I don't like clear coated aluminum anything, your wheels would probably require a minimum of effort to maintain with a product such as Mothers Mag and aluminum polish :smash:

Strip the wheel with lacquer thinner and then keep polished with a quality product such as Mother's. Only has to done once a month or so to keep the aluminum oxide from forming.
