Greetings:

    One product I've been very pleased with over the years is called
    LPS-3. It's a rust inhibitor, intended for stored tools. I've had it
    on large machine tools that were mothballed for years, and had them
    come out with no rust at all. I also use it on my rolling-mill
    rollers & etc when I'm not planning on using them for a few days, and
    it works great. You can get it from MSC or Enco, or (at least in
    California) OSH stocks it. 

    It's a spray on coating that's sort of like a thick, waxy oil. Much
    easier to remove than cosmoline, and it makes a pretty good thick
    lubricant for tools too. But it does leave a waxy coat, so it's not
    for daily use tools. Comes off easily with WD-40 or any other light
    oil. 

FWIW
Brian Meek.
