However, if you get a scratch in the clear coat you'd find it much harder to "blend" the scratch out either by polishing with a compound or by re-painting with touch up clear-coat.

There's a product called Gibbs which I use on all metal and plastic surface. It would protect aluminium and even bronze from bird stains , finger marks and general grime. Luv it.
