You don't indicate which area of Australia you're in. If you live in a tropical, or Sub-tropical humid environment, then maybe have a look at my post regarding this subject; https://www.woodworkforums.com/showth...54#post1815054

Lanolin spray and polish off.

I've used Trad Wax & Lanolin spray.

Both OK for a short while.

The Trad Wax doesn't last very long in the heat & the Lanolin spray goes gummy.

I'm currently using Ferro-Pak G15

Strange as it sounds, I use a leather conditioner. Think it's an RM Williams branded one at present, depends what I can get from the local saddlery. As long as it's made from carnauba, beeswax, tallow and neatsfoot oil and contains no silicone or other synthetics. Neatsfoot oil is of course used as a lubricant for metal cutting and combined with the waxes and tallow seems to keep the rust at bay.

The cast iron machine tables at work don't seem to rust at all, but for lube we just use boring paraffin wax (a box of plain white candles will last for ages). Just rub on and use, don't even bother buffing it.

There is a dedicated product avaliable called silver glide.
Haven't tried it myself but follow the attached link for more info.

Been using Silverglide myself. only down side is it separates in the tin during the summer and you have to remix it. Works well other than that

Silverglide here too, for all my cast surfaces.

The stuff is a bit exxy, but a little bit goes a looong way. At my current usage rate, I think my current can will last a decade or so!

Had a pro shop in France. One tin of silver glide did 4 years. Only stuff to use.
