Exactly like a new gun,keep it clean, dry, and oiled. There are many products to accomplish this. Or you could spray paint it

Ballistol!
After decades of Hoppes, all kinds of lubes, I just use Ballistol now.
Wish I'd discovered it 40 years ago.

That age, that amount of finish wear, and NO rust or pitting? I would say that is a great candidate for a satin finish hard chrome. If a daily carry revolver, it will resist the elements better. Something to leave in your glovebox where it won't be exposed?,, you may stay with the constant oil regimen.
It depends of course, on just how much you have invested in revolver. Given your location, it will hold up great. It would be the last refinish you would ever need.
If you are just going to send it down the road soon, oil & repeat.

Wax ... wax stays put longer . Birchwood Casey's Sheath , which may be called Barricade is made just for long term protection . To me it seems to be a spray on containing wax's and the carrier evaporates leaving a wax coating ... I have also used automotive paste waxes and good pure Carnauba Paste Wax ... like Mothers Gold ... works extremely well .
The Birchwood Casey Sheath or Barricade (whatever it's called) is in theory , made for firearms and better .
What I like about these wax products is the surface doesn't attract dust or lint , non oily surface and the wax layer stays there , even after handling and wiping down the gun ... as a bonus ...like your car ...the wax makes your gun Look Good !
Old School Wax Job has a lot going for it .

Break free CLP should work fine and in the event you need something on the next level, Rig Universal Grease is the best. Just keep treated cotton flannel rag in a zip lock bag and wipe it down after shooting or handling it.
