Hi Guys & Girls

But this lovely rusty old key.   ::) ::) ::)

How can I stop the rust form getting worse, is there any type of paint or something of the sort to prevent it rusting away ? ?

what kind of treatment do you reckon...
I don´t like overcleaning coins or artefacts, but if I don´t clean & protect this it will eventually rot away...

Nice old key Monco.  If it were an old gate I'd say Hammerite but wouldn't think it would do your key much good. There is a  wax type stuff that I've seen the fellas talking about and I think Tafflaff (Rob) sells it.
You could send him a P.M. and ask.
