I use Delta Ceram Coat clear sealant, it comes in 2 different finishes, one is clear matte (dull coat) and the other is gloss (shiny) I got them at Michael's arts and crafts store, they are brush on though.

You think games workshop citadel clear coat matt would do the job? Cause its probably the only brand I will find in Australia, without alot of effort.

I use Aqua Net hairspray. $1.69 a can.

It puts a solid and even shine on surfaces. I started using it about 10 years ago (as a last ditch effort) and was very impressed with the results. Much to my surprise, the shine has never worn off of any figure, either.

I've used Future Floorwax and the GW spray on my limited amount of minis. I added some Tamiya flat base to the FF and it gets to just a little bit more glossy than the supposed matte spray from GW. I'm fairly sure if you just did FF without any base it'll be very glossy since that is what it is designed for.
