I know they'll rust so I'll put wax etc on it every week.

Re: Some polishing +advice
You can use special agents to stop oxidization.
Well, the agent will oxidize first meaning your nice frame will be left untouched :)
It will need re-doing every few months or so, depending on how much you use it in wet weather...

I read a lot about polishing and I also found out that clear laquer may fbe flicking off the smooth polished surface. It also may be hard to put it on

Probably.
There's a difference between flicking off and flaking off especially in English
