Question on brass polishing from a novice

Hello,

I’m just a beginner in this fascinating world of jewelry making
where most of you are gurus! I dabble with metal piercing on brass
and copper mostly creating larger things such as
lampshades…recently I finished (not buffed and entirely done) a
pendant made in brass…attached are some pics…I’m really lost on
how to finish and seal the piece to retain its lusture…I’m
familiar with the process of polishing it, buffing it as well but
not sure how to seal it!!

I see recommendations for several “waxes” that will help but not
sure which way to go…

Any and all advise would help…

Thanks
Shankar
