If there is any chance that the parts in question could heat up (e.g. on deck in the sun), you're better off with something more stable. Dow Corning High Vacuum Grease would work, and there are also rust inhibiting coating products that aren't greases made specifically for the purpose. I have to wonder though - why not avoid gunk and just paint the affected surfaces?</p>
