Swan 41 mast maintenance

Dear Fellow Swan Owners,

Later this month we will have our 1979 Swan 41 re-rigged (though there are no sign of impending failure, the rigging is original except for the backstay).  While the mast is out, I would like to apply some sort of protective coating to the whole mast.  I've been considering a marine grade wax or Owatrol Marine Oil (which I've applied to our aluminum toe rail and it has stopped further galvanic corrosion admirably).  What are others' recommendations?  Is there a better option I'm missing?  Thanks.

I do not know the oil you mention but a very good product is plain vaseline oil. It does what you require and it is relatively cheap.
