3m is by far the best out there, there are others that
are good, but with 3m, you know you are getting a
decent product.

 there are 2 types, brushable, and caulk gun style.

 Caulk is for a 1/4-1/2 in bead, whereas brushable you
can apply very thin to areas you want ot protect.

 Be sure to clean the area well, first with a
toothbrush and alchol, then use a wax and grease
remover.

I don't know if a clear is available, but 3m's website
will show what they have.

and be sure to tape off areas yuo don't want the
sealer.....
