Alumagard and Corrosion X are useful in marine applications, so they might do the trick here too. G

Put your car in space. No oxygen = no oxidation. The problem is the logistics, but there are no speed limits either.

Like the salt solution on winter roads or water spray?

Re entry when you want to drive the car again can be a real bitch too. But, 10,000 mph would be pretty cool. Just make sure your AC is working it might get a little warm.

You have a choice of 600, 1000, 1200, and 1500. the 1200 is the darkest so dont use it.
I might add that Alodine is corrosive and needs to be nutralized with DI water.

If your car is a "lemon" then I can see the implications. G

All of this brings us back to the point of you can oxidize it yourself (Alodine) , Anodize color (Acid electricity, dye )small parts , paint clear ,or wax grease oil it. But raw aluminum is going to combine with something.
