There is NO clear coat that will last as long as paint. If you want

Thanks. I guess the general consensus is, "sorry, you're outta luck."

I don't think I want to paint... the wood still looks too nice.

Sorry Mike but I had not seen dadiOH's repsonse earlier. I have to disagree
with the broad brush he paints with. There are indeed clear coats that are
superior to paints. Just do look at your car...
