Entry Door finish?

I have an unfinished Mahogany Entry door. No overhang, but a storm door. The door is 80% glass with just 6" stiles/rails and a 12" bottom rail. What finish will give me the most protection, does not look like a bowling alley finish and also does not peel after a year?

Paint. Deep base tint, untinted, will dry clear.
Thanks, Curt

Yep, you've misinterpreted the suggestion, get the exterior deep base without it being tinted and it's a clear finish with all the protection additives you need. More info here though the article is getting a little dated.

I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.
