Rather than regurgitating the same info, I thought it would be better to point you to the sources.

Popular Science printed a great article on how to protect Metal.  It can be found at: http://www.popsci.com/diy/article/2009-11/secret-beautiful-steel-comes-bowling-alley

The New England Sculptors Association Recommend Bowling Alley Wax for annual application on outdoor sculptures:  http://www.nesculptors.com/sculpture_care.htm

The Texas Historical Commission also wrote a great paper on using Bowling Alley Wax for Statue preservation:  http://www.thc.state.tx.us/annualconference/cofpdfs/crng_mnmnts_mrkrs_sld_10.pdf

Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission article on protecting Ancient Iron, Bronze and Zinc Grave Markers:  http://www.depweb.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/grave_markers/1926/metal_types_and_repairs/280328

National Park Service give us maybe too much detail on how to care for Bronze Plaques using Bowling Alley Wax: http://www.nps.gov/museum/publications/conserveogram/10-05.pdf

OK, One more Outdoor Sculpture Care from Williamstown Art Conservation Center:  http://www.williamstownart.org/resources/images/WAAC%20Outdoor%20sculpture.pdf

Hopefully I didn’t overwhelm you with information.  I always figure too much is better than too little…
