"Coating" for polished aluminum?

Any product you would recommend to
apply to highly polished aluminum to
keep it from oxidizing?
Thanks!
Chuck

there is a metal sealer made by ZOOP SEAL that works well. They say it protects for 2 years. You won't have to polish your rims any more after you apply it. Sorry don't remember the web site, but use a search engine to find it.

yep clearing polished alum makes it go dull or white cast color to it. that zoop seal stuff was used on "Trucks" (tv show) there web site should have contact info where to get it.
