Ok, this isn't car related. (but could be) emoji
Can I clear coat it or something? I want to polish up some stuff on my quad but want it to stay nice even after I wash it. I hate spending hours detailing only to have it look like crap again after one wash.

Of course. Just clearcoat it. It also depends if its a high heated area. If so, you need to get high temp paint.

i never tried it...but im considering ordering a bottle...that "zoop seal" stuff? iv seen it advertised on spike on their "power block" on saturdays. they say it polishes and leaves some sorta protective coating to keep it looking good for a few months or so.

If you really want it to last a long time and still be durable then I would suggest getting it clear ANODIZED. Way better than spray clear, won't chip and looks like regular aluminum.
