I read on a message board where someone suggested using a combination lacquer/paint thinner on hand planes to keep away the rust. Has any one used or tried this? Any thoughts about this approach?

I would say that would have absolutely zero effect, and might even accelerate
the onslaught of rust because those are solvents that would probably remove any
other kind of protective film that would actually serve the intended purpose.
