If you want the polished look I would clear it with a high temp paint. But I wouldnt give it long before it turns yellow from heat, brake dust, and cleaning if it is on a Daily Driver. I wouldnt do it at all on a Daily.
I cleared my intake manifold 5 years ago on a car I drive every 1 or 2 months and it has held up fine.
