I think that looks great, I'd shoot a matte or low gloss ( if that's a thing ) over it.

Why?

No. Wax it. Clear coating imparts a "candy coated" unnatural shine, and you can't undo what you've already done. If it's cleaned and detailed to the point where clear coat is in your mind, then a good waxing should do the trick, and it won't look fake or cheesy. IMO.

100% agree cleared patina is fake patina. a fad that will go away. yet is not reversible. clean t and use a wax that wont leave a white haze on any rust. i for the record also do not like penatrol or linseed oil.
an old guy with a flat black 32 ford told me he used pledge. i have been using it on mt 51
