How can I protect the finish on this bare aluminum? Aluminum polish? Clear coat paint?

I would like to see pic of those Ansens, copper.

You're going to get corrosion in those deep scratches. Do it again with some 400 or 800. Gibbs brand is the best protectant for wheels. Get it from Dave Mann @ http://www.roadsters.com/welcome/, again, he is the best resource for care + info on early wheels.
