Not so with LPS-3. I sold a 25 lbs jar of Cosmoline recently.

LPS-3 is good for a year or two in the sun and rain. I spray it on
galvanized roofing and the exposed welds on my trailer. Once a thin
rust or zinc oxide film has formed it holds the LPS-3.

For me, it was good for 6 months. Yes, it does work pretty well.

Just as an aside, I put vaseline on my bird feeder pole to keep
squirrels off it, and I expected to have to regrease it weekly or so.
It's now been 8 months out in wind, rain & snow and it's still quite
greasy. I can't say how rustproof it is, as the pole is painted.
