SD GSL-SE Wheel Refinishing

Hi, a few years ago I used one of those "universal" wheel cleaning products on my GSL-SE wheels and it removed some of the clearcoat on all 4 of the wheels. The wheels now have streaks of oxidized material showing at the edges of each of the spokes, although the majority of the clearcoat is intact.

Is there a way to fix this issue without completely stripping the wheels?

TIA

John

No. Need to be recleared. Or you can strip and polish like I do. But not feasible for a daily driver.

While they can be stripped and repainted, consider having them powered coated if you want a more durable finish.
