I've used LPS3 on exposed metal on my BJ8 and the metal has stayed shiny
(and I put a lot of miles on that car, some in rain):
https://www.amazon.com/LPS-Premier-Rust-Inhibitor-Aerosol/dp/B000SKWQQS
Its description says color is 'brown,' but it's a very light brown. I
don't know of any product that is colorless and, to be effective, I
think they all leave a thin, waxy film.
FWIW, I tried one of the 'best' (supposedly) 'bluing in a bottle'
products, and it didn't hold up; hopefully, you can find something
better. The original bluing process required harsh chemicals and, I
think, the application of heat.
