Depends on if you want to keep reapplying?? Sharkskin is a good coating... But so is clear nail polish. Clear powder coating is another option. What are we coating and where will it live?

I have heard from a blacksmith that min-wax wipe on poly works really well. Anyone hear that or use it?
Any kind of can wax will work. It's a once a year thing if outside. I'm using bowling alley wax in a can. Heat the part and brush the wax on. Once it cools and solidifies, ya buff it to a shine. Kinda stinks for the first couple days. I dont trust it for high shine. That's what clear in a spray can is for. https://www.amazon.com/Bowling-Alley-Wax-Clear-Paste/dp/B0081N6KHK Works good on machined surfaces too.
I use to be big in the transformers toy scene, we would apply floor polish to joints to thicken them. Hmmm. Now I am wondering if I should give my floorpolish a test... Hmmm rainx.... Hmmmm.
