I like this for that:

It resembles WD-40 but actually works.


I was surprised how good WD40 really is:

Not as good as Boeshield T9 but better than other, more expensive
preparations.

I am not sure if it does something to rust as well as acts as a simple
barrier - like converts it to a different oxide (like some of the de-rusting
product, e.g. Evaporust). I could not explain the different appearance of
the WD40-covered piece.

I do not think you have Jig-a-Loo in the US - it is marketed here as a rust
preventative as well as lubricant. In this trial it actually promoted rust!
