I've got T-9 and it is the BEST product I've ever used to prevent rust.
Better than paste wax. I use SC Johnson's paste wax on all tables
that come in contact with wood. I use the T9 on other metal surfaces
and haven't seen any rust forming on the T9 protected items. I don't
wipe it off like you said you did...

After reading the good reviews of Boeshield T9 rust preventative, I
bought some at a wood working show. My new general tablesaw had been
sitting in my garage since I bought it about a month ago. After
cleaning up the gunk manufacturers put on the machines to avoid rust, it
didn't have any protective layer on it, and it looked fine a month
later. Then I bought the Boeshield. Before putting it on, I rubbed the
table down with naphtha, after which I sprayed Boeshield on and wiped
most of it off. The next day I had rust. I cleaned all of it off with
mineral spirits and re-applied Boeshield. Again, the next day I had
rust. I called the company and was just told to "put it on thicker."
After being bitten twice, I'm hesitant to go through it again. Anyone
have any theories? I'm leaning towards simply using Johnson paste wax
on the table top.
