Do NOT, repeat NOT rely on wd40 to prevent rust. It will have
the exact opposite effect. The solvent will rinse off any
oil that is present on the surface and you will be sorely
disapointed at the results.

Purchase a small quantity of LPS-3 from MSC and you will
be much happier - and your machines will remain, blissfully,
rust-free.

I strongly agree. But there *will* be a waxy film on the equipment
that will have to be cleaned off before you use it. That film is why
LPS-3 works so well to prevent rust, ie it blocks oxygen and moisture
from contacting the metal.
