I have to admit my dislike for wd-40 has much to do with the fact it's a good cutting fluid for aluminum. Trouble is, it smokes-up quite a bit. Good news, it's cheap. Trouble is, as a preservative, it gums.
Effective and cheap is music to the ears of someone w/zero $$ and a desire to start a machining business. I cannot even fathom how much of that crap I inhaled in my earlier yrs. It got to the point the mere smell of wd-40 makes me want to vomit..even when it's at the ready in a can. Fortunately, there are other alternatives and now when either I, or someone else in the shop, is doing some manual work (requiring a brush-on application of lube), the shop smells like cinnamon. (tap-magic)
As for long term storage and protection, I think just about anything will work provided a little common-sense is applied.
