That's what I use. It's a clear, epoxy-ester based aerosol that's pretty tough. Comes in gloss and matte clear. I've always got great results with it. Plenty of other good finishes out there, you basically find something that works good and stick with it.

I use Plasticoat brand clear "Super Lacquer."  It's really tough, like most lacquers, and if you put it outside on a sunny warm day, it'll dry rock hard in minutes.
