Pitted/oxidized alloy wheels
I had a slow leak on one of the wheels (alloy) on my HHR, had a tire shop do the sealer treatment, didn't work...pulled the tire off the wheel and found pitting/oxidation in the bead area. I sanded the area going from coarse #120 grit to #320 wet sand, has held air good since then, about 3 months. Is there a DIY coating/paint that will adhere to the wheel and prevent further oxidation?

My tire guys have retired but they tell me that a spray of clear coat works and I coated the Sunfires aluminum rims with rubberized stone guard spray on after I cleaned off all the oxi crude on the inside of the bead area of the rims, that was ten years ago when I put on the first replacement tires.
They are still good and holding air no slo leaks like before

I have since replaced 2 front tires & 3 back tires & the rustoleum is still holding up fine.
