Default cast iron rust protection

Paste wax is all I use. If you are expecting to keep it shiny like new,
expect to sand it from time to time. Not a good thing. It will get dark.
Doesn't hurt it a bit. Red is bad though.

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.

Thanks,
