    If you dont replate, Renaissance Wax is the Easiest and most widely used in Global museums to
    prevent rust.
    Absolutely amazing stuff, and Ive used it from Vinyl floors, pictures, Guns, slots, Pins, etc.

    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.
