I have only tried to lacquer some metal once.

I first buffed the metal to polish it then wiped it down with
denatured alcohol to get any waxes/residue off. After the lacquer
(said it worked for metal) dried it was easy to get off. Any amount of
firm handling and it would start scratching right off.

Anyone used any lacquer to preserve a polished metal?

Cymbal companies use it as a protective coat.
It works great to keep cymbals from tarnishing from skin oils.

However, it does nothing to prevent oak rust. :-)
