Anodizing not off?

Looks great! Its not perfect but, I'm not perfect so it should fit right in. Shoot the amount I've spent on sand paper and other little things I could have paid and had this thing shipped off to be professionally done lol.

Today I did some light sanding with 800, 1000 and 1500 grit...I'm over sanding... then I did some polishing by hand... Im liking it... FYI touching this now instantly gets it dirty lol... its going to suck to tape to paint it...

Any ideas for keeping it a little more clean? Wax? Clear coat?
