Torque and Chrome

Are my mag wheels clear coated?

Long story short I have a Honda accord euro r with stock mag wheels. Gun Metal Finish. They are dirty and real hard to clean. I'm looking at a cleaner that says "Do NOT use on clear coated, anodized, chrome, painted, plastic or any other kind of coated surfaces. For use on alloy, aluminium and magnesium only." How do i tell if my mags are clear coated? Cheers

1. if car is over 5 years old it doesn't matter anymore since most of clear coat has been burned by brake dust anyway......... ** btw once u have the wheels clean....use a CLEAR car wax and wax them.....ICE brand works great cas it goes on clear what this does is provides a wax surface for the hot brake dust to hit ......which means next time they are looking dirty u can just hose them off........will need to re-apply every other time u wash ur car (if u wash car weekly)
2. It would most likely do had a clear coat on it. Most factory wheels do. Just clean the wheels with soap. Those chemical wheel cleaners will remove paint. You don't want that. Hard to remove the brake dust? Try some car polish. Then put on a cheap coat of wax after.
