If your budget can stand it, grab up several cans of LPS-3.   Most of 
the bigger auto parts stores carry it.   Not as cheap as used motor 
oil by a long shot but the stuff is bang-up good, sticks well, dries 
semi-waxy and won't arbitrarily pick up every little speck of trash 
that comes close.   It stays put, won't drip off, and will come off 
fairly easy if washed with a hot-water pressure washer.   Otherwise 
it's there to stay unless abraded or brushed off.

It's by far the best rust preventative I've seen.    It's fairly east 
to spray into most places although its stream isn't wide enough to 
make spraying larger areas a quick process.   You can heavy up on it, 
layer it on again as each previous shot flashes over.  Once dry it's 
sorta like bee's wax.

It's good stuff.
