   I have never used that lacquer but I have used polar white in that small can. Went alright, nothing went wrong, stayed white. I used a bigger can of lacquer because them small ones are expensive where I live

   It's shit and it's acrylic and yes it has a yellow hew. Best bet is to get yourself a 500ml tin of u pol clear that will do all 4 wheels with 3 coats easily.

   All clear coats have a yellow hue it's because of the resins and binders used. Unless you have a really expensive clear coat it's to be expected. Upol aerosols have very little yellow hue to them and are also uv resistant so will not yellow with age.

    The colors in those small tins turn out alright from the feedback ive had my Dad sell them in his shop, But at the moment hes painting my wheels metallic grey and Ive supplied him with Car plan lacquer and car plan color and everything is OK

    Don't buy stuff just because its cheap. 99% of the time its price tells you how good it is.
