What is the best way to maintain the natural unfinished of parts such as Accelerator Lineage? Is there a coating that should be applied once these have been restored to their natural unfinished appearance?

The accelerator crank mounted to the firewall was originally phosphate/oil.  The accelerator rod (from the carb) was usually zinc dichromate (gold.)  If the parts are plated/coated properly with the original finish, you will just need to maintain with something like boeshield.

Thanks to all who replied.

It appears that boeshield is the way to go and I will pick up some today.
