How to protect polished aluminum?

[garlicbreath]

I made an emblem for my grill out of billit aluminum and need some ideas on protecting it. I tried clearcoating it, but it yellowed within a month.
I was thinking of just keeping it waxed, but thats too much work.
I called the local anodizing place and asked about clear anodizing and he said when he has done it it turns the aluminum grey.
Any ideas? It's highly polished to a mirror finish.

Good clear wont yellow... Use a quality urethane and it'll be fine...

According to Stacey David this stuff is the sh@!. I have heard the same from others as well.

I've used FLITZ with really good luck. supposed to protect for 6 monthe but harsh conditions might lessen that time, it sheds muddy water really well. Plus its not real expensive.

Next time I get off my lazy butt and polish my wheels, Im going to zoops them. I hate how my side exit exhaust tarnishes them in like 2 weeks.

My billet aluminum power steering bracket is clear powder coated and if I wipe the grease off it still looks new.
