Default protecting polished aluminum?

Newbie here! I've read the free manual and many posts in this forum. Before I begin getting into the whole process of polishing/buffing, which I'm eager to start, I was wondering what is the best method for protecting the finished piece. Specifically car underhood/engine items.

I've read mixed things about diy clearcoating with a spray can (dulled finish, yellowing over time...)

I know there is a wax that Caswell sells, but is that meant for hi-temp applications? Would it last under those conditions, or just melt off?

I'd like to find something I can do myself, as opposed to paying for clear powder coating, if possible...

Thanks, and it's great this forum exisits!
