Deke I use camilla oil in a shop made applicator on the sole and cheeks every so often. If it is a warm day and I have been sweating a little (not an uncommon side effect of hand plane usage), I wipe them down and apply a light coat before putting them back.
Also, I have an 8 oz. dessicant bag in each drawer of my tool box were there are tools that can rust. They are available on the internet and can be found for under two bucks a bag (cheap insurance if you ask me).
If you do have some surface rust crop up, use some 400 or 600 grit aluminum oxide paper with a little WD-40 to clean it off. You can follow that up with some good paste wax, as well.
