Galvanized Sheet Metal- Wax? Spray? Update

Update 8 June

I read up on this and there are several suggestions, not too clear though. Anybody got something that works for sure, please pass it along. Thanks.

OK I put a sheet of galvanized sheet metal as the insert fridge door décor in the used Dometic 7401L we got (the original insert was gone)for the truck camper. I used that instead of plastic so it would hold fridge magnets. :)

Hands get black stuff on them from the metal as is. Apparently you can clean that off but it comes right back. One idea was to use car paste wax on it just after you clean it? Or is there an easy peasy spray you can use and it will make a seal cover to stop the black stuff getting on your hands? What about maybe that clear spray that goes on top of car paint spray? Would that "hold?"

If nothing works Plan B is to put a plastic or counter top laminate insert on top of the steel insert but there is not much thickness room to get another insert in. (the magnets should still work I guess)
