Have the engine annodized clear. It will keep the alluminum shinny for ever. All you have to do is wipe it off.

I've seen anodized cylinders taht look very shiny. I all you really hav eto do is put a littel mothers on it and it will come back to life. Why anodize or clear coat?

Clear anodize would work fine but in a sandy situation it may develop a haze to the finish and also the rear rims are golden alodine not anodize.
