Default Protecting the polished brass?

R.W. Behan, in article
, says...
Several years ago we had a good discussion here about overcoating your
polished brass fixtures belowdecks. It wasn't varnish, but a space-age goop
that would keep your brasswork looking good forever--without having to
repolish.

Anybody remember the name of the product? I can't, but I need desperately
to know. I have a dear wife who's willing to polish the brass (in our Lord
Nelson Victory Tug, and there's a LOT of it) if she only has to do it once.
Yes, yes, I could always get another wife, but this one's a keeper. (We
celebrate 50 years in June.)

Sorry about the geriatric memory here. I should have made a note. Maybe I
did, but I forgot where I put it.....

I'm testing Renaissance Wax on my brasswork and initial
impressions are positive. I wanted a finish that was easy to
renew without the problem of removing the old finish, as with
most paint-on type finishes. I initially thought these would
be a good idea but found them needing refurbishing after a few
years, due to wear, UV, etc..

Try Google. One source with a good description is:
