Default Clear coating polished parts?

Does clear coating polished parts really seal in the 'polish'? If it does I think this would be the way to go to keep from doing it all the time.

Clear powder painting makes the finish a little "foggy" but holds up great.. clear painting (using a high grade automotive paint) isnt a durrable but is more optically clear (what my HRE's are)..

Either way a polished item would be MUCH easier to maintain.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
