Default Aluminum Preservation????

Does anyone know of a product that I could use to clear coat my nice new aluminum heads, intake, water pump?? I want to leave them the natural cast finish but I know with time they will inevitably stain and be difficult to clean.

When I bought my header paint I used a paint called "VHT" with ceramic additive. Auto zone also had a clear in the same product good to 2000 deg.

Thanks.

I have used the VHT "clear" successfully on aluminum intake manifolds.
