Default Brake pipes what to coat them with??

I've just had all the brake pipes replaced on my Focus Tdci as 1 was advisory on the MOT and for piece of mind I got them all done.

Now they are brand new from Friday, what can I coat them with?

I'm thinking wax oyl, wax treatment, copper grease, moly grease??

Anyone offer any help??

are they genuine replacements or bent copper?
if steel, then paint will do.
