I buy spray cans of something called corrosion barrier film. It is

To slow down the rust, power wash it clean at the car wash, then
spray rust spots periodically with WD-40.
Good idea. #2 is even cheaper than WD40, and probably has a lot
more parafins in it.
But WD-40 is specifically designed to displace and repel water.
(Water Displacement formula attempt #40.)
I haven't done lots of testing, but I generally use LPS3. It is a
waxy, spray on lubricant. I used it heavily on outdoor security camera
housing hardware. It lubricated well and prevented further rust.
I learned of it when working with a general aviation mechanic. LPS2
and LPS3 are major contributors to the unique smell of the inside of a
Cessna. So while my 240D doesn't fly like an airplane, it can smell
like it does...
I heartily recommend LPS2/3 for fighting the formation of rust. WD-40
only works if you spray it hourly!
