    Hello Forum,

    I have a set of FJ wheels that I will be purchasing 275/70r17 BFG A/T's for towards the end of the year. I have a questions regarding the clear coat. In the pics you'll notice some scuff & scratch marks.

    I know that:

    * I can take my wheels to a body shop & have them strip the clear coat off & apply a new coat of clear (don't have any idea how much that will cost me).

    * I can strip off all the clear but then the wheels will probably require frequent polishing to maintain the shine.

    * I can leave them as is.

    * Or, is there a way to polish or wet-sand the scratched/scuffed parts of the wheels to at least be able to remove some of the scratches?

    Here are the pics.

    Let me know your opinions, personal experiences, cost to have these re-clear coated, or advice.

    Thanks Forum
    :D

    Is there a way for me to polish or clean those scratches off of the wheels
