to clarify more. these are brake drums and rotors. some of that stuff would be difficult to remove

Thats different. No oil on brake surfaces. Get something like the cosmoline type product (I’m guessing cosmoline based on color and texture) they use on aftermarket brake discs and it comes off clean with brake kleen type products.

Can you put it in a cabinet with a dehumidifier?

• oil
• fluid film
• lp4
• boshield
• wax (paste)
• wax (car)

Seriously, this is good stuff.

A sticky oil that's easy to find, boiled linseed oil, has the advantage of turning solid after a few days. That's
the basis of old oil paints. For machinery that has sliding parts, it's soft enough to get out of the way... and fluid
enough (at time-of-application) to fill the little pits that would promote rust.

Wrap them in treated wax paper. Uline sells a rust protective wax paper.

LPS3 or grease

My choice is Fluid Film or Johnson's paste wax.

I rub it down with evaporust then coat it with paste wax. This works very good on stuff we just do not want to oil...

Brake drums and rotors?

Nevermind...

They will get surface rust, one stop and gone.

When installed they get wet and rusty, brakes are self cleaning.
