In order to keep them up I have to remove them and get out the buffing wheel. They look good for about 3 weeks. I have tried waxing them to no avail. I really dont want to clear coat them. Ideas??

Wheels get a lot more abuse than valve covers.

Great for smaller jobs with a nozzle pattern better than many guns are capable of and with very good durability. http://www.eastwood.com/spray-max-rapid-cut-in-spot-clearcoat-aerosol.html
