Spray a nonacetone-based clear coat spray to autographed sports memorabilia, guitars or other items that won't be worn or washed to add a protective coating. Place the item on a solid surface, hold the can 12 to 14 inches away, and depress the trigger lightly for a few seconds.

How do you preserve a signature?
Use a dry iron (no steam) and keep the iron flat over the signature for at least one minute. Do not rub which could smear the ink, but lift the iron up and down over the signature while applying firm pressure to prevent scorching. If you don't have an iron, toss the signed fabric into the dryer.
How do you preserve an autographed helmet?
Both nail polish and that glue stuff will make the surface of the helmet look really weird and uneven but the spray paint should do the job. Make sure to tape any parts you dont want covered and then spray in bursts from like a foot away until the helmet is covered.
How do you protect a Sharpie autograph on plastic?
To prevent this, coat your writing with a layer of clear nail polish or a coat of matte polyurethane. Once it's completely dry, the clear-coat will shine, helping to hide the sanded surface not covered by writing. Choose the polyurethane for a matte, dull finish.
