I know there is a clear coat just for polished aluminum but I can't remember what it is at the moment. My powder coater has a "chrome" powder that could be used on the billet as well. Then there is triple plated chrome...

It's a shame to spend a lot of money on Billet and then have to cover it in something... I think I need to install some inner fender skirts to help with keeping the road grime out of the engine bay as much as possible. Parking outside doesn't help either.
