alright im polishing my raze r74's

just following the right up on HT
as you can see from the pic, the wheels already have a polished lip
and when i stripped the paint i got some spots on the lip that clear coat came off
so my question is how many of you guys that have polished wheels put clear coat on the entire wheel once there polished?
cause if i dont have to polish the lip over again i dont really want to
and i realize there are a few other wheels polishing threads just didnt wanna jack one of them with a big post like this.
any responses will be greatly apreiciated
