I'm still new to some of this, but couldn't find a great answer using Search so forgive me for digging up something that has probably already been covered ...
I just finished weathering with acrylics over a KR Graflex (TROS conversion kit)... it looks great, but the acrylic wipes off when I'm cleaning. On a painted surface, I'd just clear coat it and be happy. But, on the bare metal, this seems like a bad idea. I found a several post saying clear coat will dull the finish, and I'm thinking there's likely a texture or film that would show on bare metal as well.
I did see a post suggesting wax. Does this work? If so, where do I get it? How do I apply it?
If not wax or clear coat... what do you use to protect the finish?
