I have seen a lot of this, but not in one place and not so well-written?

From the link:
"You can discourage rust a number of ways. For my woodworking tools, like my
table saw and jointer tops, I use Automobile Paste Wax. I put it on fairly
heavily and often. It seems to work well. There are also cream waxes, but
these contain some water, so I stick with paste. "

Automobile paste wax frequently - Real Frequently - contains silicones.
Silicones are not conducive to decent finishes on wood. As wood passes over
a waxed surface containing silicones it picks up some of those silicones and
renders it difficult to finish.

Use Boeshield or Johnson red stripe paste wax.

This was a jump off the page issue. After seeing this, I did not bother
reading the rest of it.
