Polishing aluminum wheels with clearcoat?

If this is a stupid question I apologize in advance........

What should I use to polish aluminum wheels with clearcoat?
Aluminum wheel polishes are for use on aluminum, but if the wheels have clearcoat on them then the product is not actually on aluminum it's on clearcoat.

So...am I over analyzing

You can use a specialized product like our Clear Coat Wheel Polish, or a quality paint care product.

Yuo could use whatever you're using on your paint. That works well for a lot of people on clearcoat wheels.

Flitz polish or Blue Magic. I prefer flitz, it is a very good polish that gets the oxidation out, and it is made especially for clearcoat alum wheels (so is blue magic), so it won't strip.

Blue Magic is awsome! I've been using that stuff for quite awhile. It's especially nice if you have any chrome.
