Brake drums and backing plates originally had some sort of a clear coating over the polished aluminum. What are your recommendations for restoration? The coating on my hubs and backing plates was partly gone, badly yellowed, and the aluminum had lost all its shine. I've now removed all the old coating and have polished the aluminum. Now I'm wondering if I should paint them with some sort of clear coating and if so, what do you recommend?
Thanks,
