Have not tried the clear yet, but I like the chrome.  I brushed it on with the enclosed brush.  I also like that it has an agitator ball included in the bottle.  Very easy to use and holds up to handling better than the other products I have tried.

Interesting product.

Looking at the rectangular shaped box in the photo, does it have two bottles in it. The chrome finish itself in one and clear sealant in another.

Ron, could you elaborate further with a step by step tutorial on how you used this product?  Looks very realistic.

It looks good. My question is how durable is it, and can it be cleared with (something?) with little or no loss of appearance?

To clarify a couple things:  yes, it comes with 2 bottles;  one is the “chrome” and one is the clear;  the brushes are made into the cap;  the chrome is supposed to dry for 48 hrs before applying the clear.  I applied the chrome on these wheel backs a month ago and have intentionally handled them roughly, pressing my finger onto them with a lot of pressure, installing tires on them, etc., with no deleterious effects.  This was without the clear.  Today, I coated one of the wheel backs with clear (the one on the right with bubbles).  I shall leave it alone for a couple days then compare it to the uncoated one.  I also painted a couple resin wheels just as they come.

I cant wait to see how it looks once the clear settles. It would be interesting to see how/if it can be overcoated with coloured clears later. I've been hunting for a chrome that can be overcoated for my hok paints.
