Check out NIALIC
This product is hands down the best rust.corrosion material going IMHO.
Have a look here for more information. It is expensive but if you have a serious problem this is the serious answer, do it once and forget about it. Enough said.
A friend has it on his unfinished ally boat and it still looks like brand new. I put it on my cast iron machine tables 6 months ago and have had no rust whatsoever since doing so even leaving them uncovered and sweating on them etc. In this area leaving my saw table for a week uncovered would guarantee a fine coating of rust, touch it with a hand and get even more. So sick of repair and maintenance like this, no time for woodwork
It is so thin it is not obvious it is on there and it obviously wears well even with lots of use.
Some points, solvents will remove it and it can be repaired easily by re-coating.
From the website: "CORROSION RESISTANT: Nyalic® is impervious to acid rain, salt water, salt air, to birddroppings, bugs, bleaches, acids, ammonia, chlorine, bromine, astringent cleaners, corrosivesalts, road chemicals, fertilizers and other damaging agents. Nyalic® is even at work insulphur plants.FLEXIBLE: Nyalic® expands and contracts with the substrate through an extremely widetemperature range. It won't chip, crack or peel."

If you deal with the lowest bidder it is well to add something for the risk you run.
And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better"

Yep - saw the product mentioned on a yachting blog a couple of weeks ago. Couldn't get an answer on the Qld dealer's number, so rang someone in NSW. It seems like their target market is mining and big industry. A local fly-in / fly-out mines worker says it is used extensively in some Central Qld mines. Sounds like a good product, if you can get your hands on it. I'd like to do some testing to see what it's like for woodwork machinery, and whether it leaves any residue on timber that contacts it.

This product appears to have some similar properties of Penetrol. Have not tried it myself but it has me thinking perhaps I should try it - not sure if the dried product would be slippery enough for use on a saw table.

But not that resistant to anything petroleum based and doesn't like body sweat either apparently.
Interesting discussion about it here http://www.ausfish.com.au/vforum/sho...c-vs-Sharkhide
It sounds like continual rubbing of something like wood on a surface will eventually abrade it so it needs to be reapplied every now and then
The $X question is, at $50 a can , how often does it have to be done ?
