Protecting brass from tarnishing

I own a 1923 Model T Ford equipped with brass items that I do NOT enjoy polishing. I always protect it from foul weather but when the humidity is high or when someone touches it, it is quick to tarnish. Is there a preferred method of coating brass to prevent it from tarnishing?

I was wondering if the man got a response to his question #16176, regarding the polishing on his 23 Model T and how to keep it shiny and free from fingerprints.
If so where do I find the response,
Thanks
