    it looks like you are trying to sand down on clearcoat. did you ever use paint stripper on the lip before? if not, strip it first, then sand it. see what happends afterwards.

          yeah your clear coat is comming off,

          a well polished lip with no clear is always more resealiant than if it gets cleared over, as it will turn a yellowish color over time, similar to polyurathane wood finish

              be sure not to get it on the rest of the rim as it will be horrid..

              sometimes people don't realize they don't need to use brake cleaner on painted rims as it will make them peal as yours are.
