Cosmoline. Not sure of the spelling, but it is used on ocean going vessels
to protect from salt and corrosion. Comes off with brake clean.

Hmm, I'm in the salt belt too. Sounds like I'd better check the spare on
my pick-up since I've never used it in 17 yrs:-)
Would be messy, but I bet a coat of axle grease with a brush would keep
it
from rusting.

We've had a couple vehicles where the spare tire is stored under the
back end. On both, the steel rimmed spare has rusted to s**t after a
few years exposure up here in the salt and snow belt. Now we're about
to get another car that will have the same problem.
I'm tempted to give the spare rim about 8 coats of rustoleum, but I was
wondering if anyone has ever seen a cover or something similar that
could protect the spare from the elements. Any ideas out there?
