    Are you sure it really needs it? Not sure on brand but I do know it needs to be done right or it will come back up or yellow.

    It was starting to oxidize some....the wet sanding and 3m stuff shined it up good...maybe it doesnt..I wanted a yellow Stroker but not like that

    If I can bring the shine back to my old one with wet sanding and detailing etc. I doubt it needs a coat of clear unless its just that far gone because of prior neglect.
