[Project] Complete Wheel Refurbish

[TruckinAin4Sissies]

This whole next week I will be performing a complete Wet-Sand, Cut and Buff on my father-in-laws '91 Acura Integra. He'll have my truck for the week.
Before we swap vehicles I'll throw on my old Wheels and Tires, allowing me to work on my Denali Wheels throughout the week.

The current condition of the wheels:

Here's my plan... PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG

* Strip clear-coat (Which method is best?)
* Remove scratches/flaws via buffing
* Buff to a mirror shine
* 2-3 Coats of clear

I'm no professional, which is why I ask the following:
If I buff them to a mirror shine (followed by clear-coat) would the CC stick?
It'd be a slippery surface?

Any tips would be appreciated!

I know it isn't a rim but we did headlights in class. We sanded the headlights with 600 grit and sprayed 2 coats of clear over them. The CC needs some type of scratch to bond to the rim.

I stripped a set of badly yellowed/scratched GMT800 PY0 8-lug wheels. Unless the scratch is deep (through the clearcoat) you'll be presently surprised with them. Strip them off with aircraft stripper... That is all I did. They were some of the best looking polished wheels at that point. I never re-cleared mine, just polished them periodically.

If you strip the clear I wouldn't spray them unless our a boss with a gun. Just keep them polished with Mother's or Blue Magic, something that leaves a film to protect.

What would be the best way to clear coat the wheels after they are stripped? I want to strip a set we have laying around but would like to clear them if its not to hard.
