You can over spray all the above with waxoil.
All the above is available in spray cans if you don't have access to a compressor and spray guns

I did that on the escort I recently sold;

I ran it white underneath for a year then became bored of cleaning it after most runs, then did this with black Waxoyl.
Good luck with it.
