Help please
I'm in the process of removing the anodized coat from my trim ( bright work ) and polishing to a mirror like finish.

Question: what should I use for a top coat so it doesn't oxidize?

I have heard that spray can clear coat peels and it can be cloudy?

A quality clear coat is going to be your best bet. Prep the surface to ensure there is no residue to interfere with adhesion.

Any clues on what would be a quality clear coat?

Should I take it somewhere? Thank you, T.

Applying a good sealant on a regular basis can also keep the trims away from oxidizing.

Yes...if it's automotive paint, then ensure you add a hardner
