Seriously , help !

I too have more questions than answers .

I have several bicycles which I have been meaning to have clear coated !

I am assuming that "clear coating" is the best thing to do for wonderful old ORIGINAL finishes , on bicycles which are actually going to be used a little more .

I know and understand and agree with , the statement ; Something Is Only Original Once .

I know the differences between ; original , restored , modified .

But , if we have bicycles which are going to be used , no matter how gently or carefully , and we want to give them the very , very best protection . . .

What is best ? Is clear coating the best thing ?

Clear coating with what , specifically ?

Thanks .
