ProtectaClear: Invisible Coating for Metal Protection
Stop tarnish, rust, smudges, fingerprints and water spots, even on mirror-polished surfaces.
🚫Stop the Polishing Cycle: Constant polishing gives you shine that fades in weeks. ProtectaClear seals it in so you get years of protection from one application—no endless upkeep.
🙌Invisible Durability: Practically invisible even on mirror-polished surfaces, it provides an H8 hardness rating for superior scratch and abrasion resistance for metals that get high use or abuse. Specially formulated for non-painted metals—including copper, brass, silver, aluminum, and stainless steel.
💍Safety & Comfort: Once cured, the coating is skin-safe and suitable for surfaces with food contact, effectively making metals hypoallergenic for jewelry and high-touch surfaces.
✨Looks Professional, Easy Application: Worried about visible brush marks? ProtectaClear is self-leveling—it smooths itself as it dries, hides application imperfections so your finish looks professionally done.
😕No More Yellowing Nightmares: Most clear coats turn yellow and ruin your metal's finish. ProtectaClear’s unique formulation will never turn yellow, crack, or peel; so your brass stays golden and your stainless stays brilliant.

ProtectaClear is a tough, thin, clear protective coating that provides protection for metal from salt damage, tarnish, corrosion, and oxidation. ProtectaClear is scratch-resistant for metal that gets significant handling like railings, jewelry or other metal with high-touch or daily use. Once the crystal-clear coating is cured, it is practically invisible, safe around foods, skin-safe, reduces the appearance of fingerprints and smudges on stainless steel, and protects copper and brass sinks, as well as copper counters from tarnish & water spots.
Any commercial coating can be scratched, however, ProtectaClear is tougher than most clear coats (H8) so the cured coating is more scratch-resistant than other coatings. The self-annealing properties allow surfaces to be repaired without stripping the entire coating. ProtectaClear will blend to itself, resulting in a flawless finish.
