Well... it is stripped, sanded, polished..

Now, how do we keep it that way?

Weekly labor.

What do you guys use? How often?

Paint. Once.

Now I never have to polish the g-d thing again.

How about a clearcoat paint, applied quickly after a polishing and cleaning?

Find out what alloy was used to make the spinner, different
alloys have different corrosion prevention needs.
If you want the bright aluminum polish, a good clear coat
may keep it bright. But paint doesn't like high polish
surfaces, it needs some tooth to bite into, a good paint job
inside and out, on properly etched and primed metal will do
wonders. You can even paint the spinner with a pattern that
looks better than bright metal.

It doesn't look nearly as nice as bare, polished aluminum. Powder coated
clear is supposed to look better, but I haven't seen it.
