Has anyone tried protecting their interior painted parts (dash, down tubes, door handles) with a wax, polymer, Zaino, etc?

Would there be any downside to doing this?

See ya,

Last year there was much concern over the durability of the silver interior paint, especially on the downtubes.

As I recall, a few people removed the tubes and sprayed them with lacquer to put a protective finish on them. Made them shinier as well.

No downside that I could see, unless you botched the spraying (lots of light coats!).
