Need coating to protect freshly blasted aluminum from future stains

I am looking for suggestions on a coating that can be used on a freshly cleaned or bead blasted aluminum engine parts, intake heads, etc... to protect from gas, oil, dirt stains, etc... so that they can be cleaned back up w/o the left over stain spots. Also, looking for a clear etching product that would allow automotive clear to adhere to it.

Thanks,

Please inquire of our supporting advertiser, Everbrite [a finishing.com supporting advertiser], if their coating is appropriate. It sounds to me like it would be.

Faded siding or trim? Everbrite might fix it without repainting
