I have a question about  maintenece on my montana 6  poles.

as they are steel they are prone to get rust on them ,well mine was ex display so already has rust marks on them .now io can rub them down but the rust will eventualy come back,                                         

Now if i use WD40 or such on my poles i am sure it is liable to affect the intergrity of the waterproofing of the tent ( well thats unless someone knows different)

I have thought about getting the big white candles and using that on the poles  to create a water resistant barrier  to stop it rusting more .

so does anyone else have any suggestions

the tent was ex demo so was out in all that rain for a few weeks before i bought it .they have them on display then sell them after  about  5 to 10 weeks ..

now  you can see where the rust came from  ,will get  rid  just  want  to prevent it coming   back safely....not  exactly  been best weather  to sit in garden rubbing  poles down lol

thanks for that  tip
