living on the ocean and seeing the effects of salt air on all sort of metal has me seriously paranoid about the effects it could have on my guns. They are all kept in a safe (with goldenrod) in an indoor room with a dedicated dehumidifier. The temp in the room is usually between 78-82* and the humidity fluctuates from 35-45% depending on the time of year and atmospheric conditions. Still I have a fear of rust primarily because some of my revolvers came to me with some on them.
my question is what is the best product to put of them after handling and when they are put in the safe. I have used CLP as well as wiped them down with a silicone cloth. I bought a small jar of Renaissance wax but have yet to use it because I am not sure how to. Does it replace CLP or other protectant?
I would appreciate hearing back from some guys who either live in high humidity or salt air environments on what your regular routine is to keep the finishes of blued guns safe from rust and looking good without have them dripping with oil making handling a mess.
