One good thing I learn living back east and it worked very well, good wax job and then spray all the metal parts down with WD-40. It will dry, but leaves a film behind that fights corrosion. Lot of folks don't know this..... WD-40 was developed to spray down ballistic missiles to prevent corrosion inside the missile housings. Look it up. there is no product out there that can do this better then WD-40. Believe it or not the contents still closely guarded secret by the company. Lot of speculation as to what is really in the stuff. The company actually had trouble releasing the product into the private sector because the government had some hold on the product since government money had been used to develop the product. The 40 number was the 40th try to get it right. Not sure what WD stands for. (Water Displacement or something like that). It was used by NASA along with Velcro (the later) when they needed something to prevent pens and gloves from flying around inside the capsules. John Glen lost a pen during his flight and that led to Velcro. Nobody knew where that pen end up and it was feared it got into something. Sure enough it was later found up against a switch housing that deployed the drag chutes. Close call.
