I've driven everywhere since 2003, including tracks in the desert areas...just Scotchguard them out if you feel the need. They barely show...certainly less than with paint or if highly polished.

I wouldn't use that clear guard or anything else to seal it...once it's on, you lose the ability of being able able to Scotchguard off any scratches, etc. or to clean it up.

Folks keep wanting to reinvent the wheel on the brushed finish, some claiming impending doom if you don't do something.

Just leave it the phuk alone...honest.
