As above, I've cleaned and painted my cool overs, how do I stop them getting all shitty again?
What's the best thing to use? Some spray oil like wd40? Or spray lube?

Waxoyl, grease etc etc

Or just never drive it.

Wax will keep the threads always usable, as will grease, but it can then attract stones etc which may need cleaned off first before adjustment. But the wax would keep them so adjustment should always be easy

Wire rope and chain lube is good stuff.i use it at work to cover brake pipes and the lube goes all tacky and doesn't come odd

As Glenn said, chain lube. Kept my coilies good for a few years. I just reapplied it every time I cleaned the arches out mate

use a sock and chain lube/grease
some socks are velcro-some tie wrapped or use your imagination and a sizable inner tube...
using one without the other still lets them corrode

Not cheap but the best you can get we use this at work on all are offshore kit,

I like the inner tube idea!
Will give that a try.

heat shrink tubing and any decent grease. only shrink the ends though, you dont want to squeeze out all the grease.
