Future polish is good stuff, model makers use it on clear plastic parts to take out small scratches, it fills in small nicks and kind of leaves a thin layer like a sealer / clear coat but, it is not permanent and MAY yellow over time. I have one of scootche's buckets myself its a great lid. try the future on a small area first to see if you like the results. you can also consider a spray on clear coat in simi gloss or gloss. just remeber to get as much of that wax off as you can, or it can cause problems if you try a clear coat. other wise few more layers of wax. holpe that helps some.
