Best rust removal approach I've come across is this: Then you apply the oil. |

ACF50 is worth considering, although a bit expensive. It's a rust inhibitor for aviation. |

I like to keep some of the Starrett Tool and Instrument oil on a rag in a bag in my toolbox and in a "pen oiler". If something's made of a tool steel that can rust I'll usually wipe it down with the oily rag after use. This has the advantage of being pretty harmless stuff to get on your skin. For bigger tools I'll spray them with CRC 3-36 as needed. As far as I can tell it's not that much unlike WD-40. Most of these type of products are mineral oil in a mineral spirits carrier. I like the pump spray bottles for less mess than aerosol spray. |
