Rig Gun Grease. My friend polished his 10/22 bbl to a shiny white. He then applied Rig, buffed and repeated three more times. He lives in a salt air environment (San Francisco Bay Area) that is foggy a lot of times (our superintendent told me that each drop of fog had one salt crystal in it). Anyway, after several years he removed he 10/22 barrel from his safe and found it to be spotless.
If the object is valuable I'd go one step further and use Renaissance Wax (Woodcraft Stores). It's PH neutral and may be applied to wood, metal and leather. Developed by the British Museum, it is used by museum conservators worldwide (so a highly respected museum conservator told me).
