Read the labels of various products at your local parts store. Something like PB Blaster Lubricant (not Penetrant) may work.
agreed - stuff needs to be put in the far reaches of the garage. It is good at removing stuck on grease off your fingerprints haha.

I rebuilt/freshed up my engine in 2009 - didnt start it again til 2015. Only thing i did was use the ol red oil can and squirt some motor oil down the cyl every few months and rotate it once or twice. 2015 it started right up with no issues.

Id do just that or use a foging spray if your paranoid - remmington gun oil is meant to do just what you want - prevent rust and stuck parts. (and its like $4 a can at wally world)
