Allot of alloy polished parts have a clear coat on them that gives up with time. Polymer based. This can be fixed. My local shop sends out to some place in Chicago to have them refurbished. I can try to get a name if you like.

Check with Discount Tire.

They were going to do my old rims. I believe $125 each.

They sent them to another company to do the re-coat.
