Extending the life of cheap chrome bumpers

Has anyone been successful in extending the lfe of cheap chrome bumpers by lacquering them or treating them in some way? In our wettish climate they deteriorate very quickly.

Clear powdercoat.

I've also heard good things about POR-15 Glisten PC, but haven't actually used it myself.

Zoopseal works great but it's expensive (www.zoopseal.com).

Johnson Paste Wax (comes in a yellow can) works great. It's a very heavy wax, and very hard, but lasts a long time and works great. It's often used on stained wood products, so look in that general area of the store. It will leave a slight residue unless you really rub it off, but still.

I bought some a year and a half ago from Kustom 1 Wharehouse. I was told by them I believe to put WD40 on them before or when it rains and so fare so good.

Glisten PC is awsome. Here is what my wheels looked like afterwards:
