I use red ATF to cover exposed metal surfaces. It has an additive that allows the fluid to cling and stay put. I've had engine blocks stored for 4 years in a storage locker with no rust.

Use some WD-40 and scotch brite to remove the surface rust. I spray WD on the inside of my Kitamura everyday when I wash it out. No rust on the table or fixtures i sometimes leave in the machine .  |
