[QUOTE="Tnecniv Edipar, post: 1308, member: 418"] Basically , the only way to prevent the metal surface from tarnishing or corroding is to seal it from the atmosphere. Painted or hard permanent coatings suffer from stone chipping and will affect the appearance. Wax , or other similar substances will prevent oxidation but will also collect dust & dirt so will need cleaning off and re-coating regularly. I did hear of a polymer coating developed for & used on military jets which apparently does the impossible , but I haven't been able to source it or any hard info. Unless that is indeed true , the only other option is stainless guards !! [/QUOTE]
