You plan to clear your polished surface?

yes. Once i find something that works. I mean i need some polishing stuff like Mothers Mag & Aliuminium polish to really make them shiny shiny. For now i'll just clean all of the compound and wax them.

get this stuff called blue magic. its like 5 bucks from kragen . it works so well. rub it in with your hands and then buff it out with a microfiber.

i know there is some clear coat that does. But i'm begining to doubt i'll be doing that..too expensive and not worth it. It's better to repolish them every season or year

[Dr.AK]

There are some obscure clear coats that stick, but not all that well, iirc what the local wheel refinisher told me.
Better bet is powder coating, I believe, but regardless what you do, it won't be nearly as shiny as unsealed.

[schroedin]

Gold sounds like an interesting choice, post up pictures when they're all done being polished though first!
