Default Polished Alumn. Care???

How do you care for your polished aluminum?
I have cleaned most of the oxidization(sp?) off using Zepher Pro 40, and it is looking fair(have a few more applications to do yet). However, I noticed anytime water comes in contact with a warm engine, WHAMOO!!!, oxidation rears it's ugly head.
Any ideas for "sealing" it where this will not occur?(not washing my bike and avoiding rain are out of the question)
Looking for something that will not "yellow" after time, heat, and UV's.

Thank you in advance.

ps- I am looking to seal the alumn, not the deck. That is this weekends project.[:@]

Try http://www.badtothebom.com/welcome.htm

Bomb's away is the best one I have found so far after 10 years of trying just about everything.
