I just wet sanded a small portion of one of the wheels with 2000 grit. This removed a lot of the ugliness already - a lot of debris marks and junk that I haven't been able to get off any other way. (and I've tried just about everything.) The surface is now scuffed but at least homogenous in appearance. What if I just wet sand the whole wheel, and clear coat it with duplicolor clear coat? Anyone done that? I trying to imagine what that would look like.
You should not sand the color coat of paint and then clear over it. If you need to get debris out of your paint job, sand it with 800 or higher and then reapply a color coat. You do not need to sand the whole wheel, just the spots that have debris in them. After the color coat has flashed (dried), you can then clear it.
