Quoted from xsvtoys:Art I think I got the recommendation from you a few years back on the Everbrite:

I used that with success on my Monte Carlo. I had this exact problem after I buffed the lockdown bar and cleaned it all up and got it all shiny. A few days later it was all rusty. I then redid it and coated with the Everbrite and it had held up since.
This post has pics of what all that looked like.

I use both. It depends on the piece, and how thick a coating needed or difficulty of piece.
More often now, the wax takes minutes and no mess. Museums use it on ancient weapons and armor.
I tested by leaving some legs that went through evaporust, and wax outside for 2 months. Not a spot of rust, except the threading.
