You might also try LPS-3, if I recall correctly--or was it LPS-2. In any
case, I believe that the one that gets waxy is also fairly popular for
spraying in pick-up truck beds before istalling a bed-liner.

That's LPS-3. But I can't find it anywhere locally.


There's also a product called Dow Corning (or Molykote) metal protective
coating. It's an organic wax dissolved in a solvent in an aerosol can.
It seems to only be available from industrial supply companies. I did
find a place to order it online but they only sell case lots.

McCmaster sells individual cans.
