Default cast iron rust protection

What do y'all use on your machines to keep the finished cast iron surfaces
from rusting ?

I bought SLIPIT Woodworkers Sliding Compound applied it liberally and
buffed it, but there are some rust spots appearing on my new machine. This
is the first new cast iron tool that I have owned and I would like to keep
it in good condition.



In a humid climate, TopCote. Well in any climate, TopCote. Apply 2 heavy
coats buffing between each. Paste wax with out silicone works for some but
did not for me in a humid climate. TopCote goes a long way and lasts a long
time.
