Yeah, on #6 clear coat is great. Have it on my MBZ SL65 wheels and it makes life easy. It's enough work just wiping off the brake dust. However I think you may loose just a little bit of brilliance with clear coat. I reacall seeing examples of my fuel injection system with and without clear coat, and with clear coat there was a slight brilliance loss. However at 61 y/o it isn't all that fun crunched in the engine bay for hours polishing it till my legs are numb. Bottom line, I would still choose clear coat even on wheels.
