Have had good results with Boeshield T-9. I use it in spray form:

Linseed oil. Honestly, nobody really knows because nobody is actually doing double blind tests.
Linseed oil does a good job of getting in all the spots and not making a mess. It's also cheap and easy to get and makes great spoke prep.

I used the wrong stuff in one of my frames and on a hot day it melted and came out the breather hole near my brake, hahaha!
I was actually going to start this thread too as my new frame has some sort of electroplating done but it seems it didn't make it to the rear triangle, lots of rusty water coming out after some mud rides.

^^ I think if I had one with rust already in it that I wanted to arrest - - and I really felt the frame was worth it - - I'd use POR-15.
Not making a mess? When I protected my old hardtail frame with linseed oil, there was oil everywhere: inside the frame, outside the frame, on my shirt, all over my hands, on the ground etc.
But it doesn't matter as it is not toxic and washes away when it's still fresh.
Me neither, but the oil still found a way on to the outside surface among other places. Maybe I'm just clumsy.
