I have tried various products to protect my cast iron and steel tool table surfaces and this is by far the most effective. Spray liberally onto the surface, let it soak it for a few minutes and wipe the excess off. The Boeshield (invented by Boeing for aircraft use) has kept my power tools rust-free for two years now.

T-9 Boeshield is an excellent product for protecting and storing metal, including firearms and machinery without the worry of rust problems. If you live in an area where you have moisture year round, this is the product for you.

This is the easiest and best way to protect cast iron surfaces from rust. I used paste wax in the past. That works too, but Boeshield was made for this and it's just easier. You should spend your time using your tools, not worrying about them rusting!

Yes, this product performs well, but the spray can is wasteful and uses propellants. You can buy this same product for less in liquid form. It goes a LOT farther, takes less room and you can apply it accurately exactly where it is needed. For ferrous metals, especially those with large flat surfaces (like table-saws) this is a convenient and good product. Most hand-tools ( which are stored in boxes and drawers) are protected just as well with cheaper and safer products like camphor, silica packs, camellia oil and wax. Some of my father's tools are over a century old and still look like new with these simple products. I am not knocking the T-9 product here; just reminding everyone that there are alternatives that do not use volatile chemicals, propellants or pressurized cans.
