I found that a good wax polish keeps the shine going.

Polish, for your purposes, Brasso or similar.
Protector, Waxoyl. Clean it off (edit: with paraffin) when the salt's gone.

Suggest something like Bilberry to clean it, followed by Meg's NXT Metal Polish, or an alloy wheel "sealant" like Poor Boy's Sealant. Chemical Guys do something similar, I highly rate the NXT Metal Polish, it polishes and then seals all in one.
