Accessory screw rust protection recommendations

[AK007]

Hey, what would you recommend for rust protection on these screws. My caps blew off in some tough winds and waiting for replacements. I was going to use WD-40, but if there is something that will last longer or would be a better option?

Nail polish is my favorite.

You have to reapply every time you remove the nuts, but it's kept it rust free.

Looks like your nuts flew off too…

Grease or Never-Seez

A real heavy grease will work. It protected against salt air when I was in the Navy. Also grease won't cause problems threading nuts on or removing them.

I use CorrosionX. It is used in aircraft for protection and they have several different weights. It ends up a dry film and it really works well i use it on all hardware and bare aluminum. Keeps it from corroding/white powder. Because it dries, it won’t attract dirt and sand etc. Great for electronics and connectors for the same reasons. I think Amazon has it but not the lowest price.
