Refinishing Alloys

I am wanting to refinish my aluminum alloy wheels. It appears that over the years the clearcoat on my alloys has started to shrink and dull. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could go to have this done. Should I check at a body shop? Has anyone ever had this done?

Thanks,

LSUROB

my body shop in LI has a place local that does them in a day... $140 each I think and they are made brand new looking..

or you could ship to Wheels America

or you could just strip the clear coat off yourself and keep the aluminum polished.
