Greetings Dave,
I've been using an aerosol : Amsoil MP - Metal Protector, got from a good
friend who is a dealer last year. Really kind of remarkable stuff. Lately
spraying on all kinds of bare, sorta rusty stuff and really seems to work
well. Neat thing, it is not greasy. Did use it on a bare steel work bench a
few weeks ago, really humid lately and no rust dust. Might look into it.
Don't know what is in it, smells "petro", not WD40 like though.
Regards,
Michael Lowe
PS I am not a Amsoil dealer.
