That's a tough one,
        since aluminum itself is really reactive, and therefore oxidizes pretty
fast.  (the oxide is quite stable, tho, and has given aluminum a
reputation as being low-corrosion.  amazing what you remember from
freshman chem!)
        Clearcoating is really required.  I like the dull, sandblasted look of
aluminum, so I blast and clearcoat with Delstar urethane.  It adheres
well to the sandblasted metal- anyone tried it on polished surfaces?
All I know,
Toby
