Lexus Rims - Are They Coated

[clinto]

I have a 95 ES300 (Australian model) it has the standar lexus 5 spoke rims.

Anyway I was going to use Mothers aluminium and mag wheel polish to clean off the brake buildup. But on reading the side of the container it said not to be used on painted rims or rims that have a coating on them.

I have read the FAQ and tried a search but I cant seem to find anything on whether or not the rims are clear coated with anyting or painted.

DO you think this would be ok to use.

thanks

Yes they are coated and no the mag wheel polish isn't a good idea ;)
