Polished alu finishing

I have polished the frame section under the tank on my nc35 and was wondering if anyone can tell me whats the best way to protect it now.Do I spray laquer it or just wax it.If I laquer it is there a special laquer?I also live on the coast so think it needs a good protecting finish.
Just like to say thanks for the help so far and am still trying to post pics.Getting there now though.

Thanks
Phill

You can use that but as its polished it will always vulnerable or put on ACF 50

i use brasso or autosol and then cotton cloth to buff it up.

i was told once that autosol and wire wool was good and work well together but i really dont want to try until i get some scrap alloy!

the best way is to anodise it, but this would not be cheep, there is a lacquer you can get from a car paint suppliers it it used on alu wheels and is self etching I think its about £25 per litre (I'v not tried so if you use it let us know if its any good

)
