Thanks Dolface. I would have google'd, however, I was looking for a bit of opinion from some experienced folks.
Of course I could have said that here and been clear, but that would make sense. And why would I start doing that?

For the hex-headed bolts, I use a dab of clear Tectyl on a cotton stick every now and then, very efficient. I would have used the stuff on track nuts too if I had a problem with rust.

You could always rub yer nuts with some Nevr-Dull Magic Wadding Polish.

My nuts are rusty too. That is, the nuts on my IRO hubs.
They were fine until I got into some nasty salty roads this winter. Once the nuts got the salty slush on them, they rusted in just a few days. Too bad. That's my only complaint about the IRO hubs.
Anyone have similar experiences with their IRO hubs?

i hardly ever touch my front nuts, but my rear nuts i play with more regularly. Not just for screwing around but to actually pull something off, like a wheel.
