Bristol comes in a honey colored formulation that looks a lot like varnish, except for the higher sheen, and a clear formulation too. They're compatible with a lot of stuff. The topmast on my last boat I had treated with that stuff and it was great, very abrasion resistant too as it needed to be shipped 40 feet up the main mast through the spectacle irons to step. You love it. The only drawback I can really put to it is that you really need a real respirator to apply it.
You can sand and buff runs too, which can be a big help as well.
