Rust on table top?

[Tail Feathers]

I think I saw someone post a review of something called "table saver" or something similar.  Here in the humid south a bit of surface rust sometimes creeps in on the tables of my bandsaw and table saw.

Does anyone remember the stuff I'm talking about?

I'm not familiar with it, but my father-in-law often rubbed a block of parafin wax over his tablesaw, bandsaw, jointer and planer tables.  I keep a block of it handy on my work bench.  It doesn't keep the tables from discoloring, but it keeps the friction down that can result from rust.  I just scribble some diagonal lines that cross each other and let the wood "spread" it around.  I don't use much, as I have been concerned about issues with finishing with wax in the pores of the wood.

They make a spray that you can put on and keep it from rusting, I think woodcraft has it.

I've used topsaver and Boeshield which is made by Boeing.  Both with great results and it's not hard or time consuming.  Here's my 18" Jet bandsaw I bought at an auction.  The farmer kept it in his barn.
