Any car wax will do. Over here I have been using Finish Kare FK1000P for years and it is a very good product. I also use it on the rims to block brake dust from sticking and it is very effective on the bike and car. The name was changed but most know it by FK1000P!
Incidentally I have let the wax degrade to the point it has all gone and the polished lowers doesn't lose much of its shine at all. It is a very good mod over the horrible brushed metal and clear coat.
I bet if you clear coat the lowers it will promote the oxidation you saw that prompted you to polish them.

21.99 to ship it.
I’ll keep looking. The White Dimond is supposed to be a sealer too.
The other stuff I used name unknown I also have sealer of the same brand I might want to try first.

I only linked to the companies site. I didn't know if there was a supplier in America but good to see there is. Their quick detailer product is very good too; FK425.
It is a forgiving product in that it can be applied and allowed to haze but if you leave it longer to dry it can still be buffed off.
I really do believe any wax or sealant will do. My findings are even leaving it bare is not bad for the alloy.
