I use Johnson Paste Wax in my wood shop. Here's how I treat my cast iron table saw and band saw exposed surfaces to prevent rust. After cleaning the table I apply a liberal amount of BoeShield T9. Following the T9 I apply a healthy dose of Johnson Paste Wax. After it has had a few minutes to haze up, I rub it off by hand. I have heard of others using an electric buffer like you would use for a car, but I find a soft towel by hand to be sufficient. I immediately re-apply the Johnson Paste Wax and repeat the process. Let it haze and buff.
