I am on the search for how to treat nuts and bolts to avoid corrosion and came across this awesome comparison of products. I am in CA, so rust is not a huge issue- but I want to give all the bolts a soak so they remain rust free.

It is a thorough exploration into metal and lubricants/rust prevention.

Since rust is a HUGE issue generally for these beasts, I'd love to hear how you all address it.

by far the biggest thing would to be to keep the bike in a temperature controlled area. technically your hardware should either have cad, zinc, or phosphate finish.

back to your question. . . How to slow that down? probably by applying something that is oil based.
