Just to add some fuel for thought or sway the media here a bit. Just a few days ago, a guy at a Harley shop I do PCing and polishing for asked me to do some polishing on a aluminum headlight shell. He also wanted to possibly PC it, but wasn't sure how it would look on it. I leave some color chips there at the shop for people to look at, and we checke out the clear coat sample. This sample was a piece of polished aluminum that I taped off half and cleared half. This way it would give you a "real" idea of what the clear would do to the aluminum. We actually had to look at it and figure out which side was cleared and which was not, as I did this piece months before and did not remember. It was really hard to tell, and to be honest with you, nearly impossible to tell by look. So that is my experience, but I still wanna see the WAR take place!
