I hope I don't have any issues, but I didn't "clear" anything.

Its a rust protectant, not a clear coat. We've used very similar stuff in the molding industry for protecting them when not in use for years. Its designed to be taken off before use or can be resprayed as needed.

Back of Rust Veto can says:

"Provides long term protection for numerous types of machines and equipment in storage. Precision parts, dies, hardware, power equipment in storage, farm equipment, firearms, sporting goods, auto parts, etc."

Its a wax base product.
