Should I Waxoyl (tm) a new steel frame?

I'm expecting a new steel fixie frame very shortly that I will be using through the winter for training/commuting.

Given that its going to get wet and won't be stored indoors, should I attempt to apply some form of rust preventer (eg Waxoyl (tm)) to the insides of the tubes, or just leave well alone?

Cheers,
Dave

    That's a very good idea indeed. ACF-50 is another option which is easier to apply and is more active in controlling corrosion.

    + 1 on the ACF-50 I use it on our motorbikes to keep the salt / rust at bay over the winter months. Top stuff.
