We use LPS 3 for long term mold storage. Thick waxy.
They also have others that might work for you.... I think you can get them at 
local ace hardware. I get ours from MSC.

Subject: [vintagvw] Cosmoline for seat frames

Volks,

The metal springs of our old beetles came coated with a flexible waxy
Cosmoline covering that did a pretty good job of preventing rust.  In
getting the frames cleaned up and repainted, I usually end up damaging and
partially removing some of this Cosmoline.

I've found the Cosmoline Web site.  Sadly, they won't sell spray cans of the
stuff in quantities smaller than a case.  A writer to one forum says that
Eastwood Heavy-duty Anti-rust is the same stuff.

Anybody know where to find small quantities of Cosmoline at retail?  Know of
any more readily available products that do the same thing -- that is, a
flexible, waxy, permanent coating for seat springs?
