DESCRIPTION AND USES
Rust-Oleum High Performance Wheel Clear is designed to enhance the look and color of your vehicle’s wheels while keeping the surface free from rust. It is suitable for use on plastic hubcaps and wheels made of aluminum or steel. High Performance Clear features an advanced spray system that allows you to spray at any angle, even upside down for those hard to reach areas. A comfort spray tip with a wider finger pad reduces fatigue caused by continuous spraying.
