Finally riding a big boys bike
I’ll second the Gibbs, great stuff. Been using it for years. Unlike WD40, it’s dry to the touch shortly after application, and seems to repel dirt and dust for quite some time as opposed to attracting it like typical silicone oils. It suffocates the rust, too, as well as bringing out the different colors of the corrosion and metal. A little pricey, but a can lasts a long time if used properly. I don’t even wash my rusty old bikes, but instead wipe them down with Gibbs once or twice a year. Highly recommended.Clearcoat is not the way to go.
I have used the BLO but dries out and you have to reapply frequently.
The best product that I have found and use for this application of preserving rust is Gibbs Brand Lubricant, penetrant, water repellent, multitude of applications.
Will not dry out, reapply after washing or cleaning.
