Aluminium engine block/head suface treatment

I have a nice newly blasted aluminium engine block and head. What is the best treatment to retain the natural finish against the dreaded 'white rust'. I have considered alu paint but that requires scrupulous cleaning and etch priming. I am edging towards a full treatment with ACF 50 ( hope I have remembered that right ) with occasional repeat treatments. What is the experience of the collective? Advice appreciated. TIA.

I've just ordered some of this to coat the aluminium on my car - http://www.everbritecoatings.com/ProtectaClear.htm

Sounds almost too good to be true so hope it does what it says!
