Another vote for good ole WD-40!!! I used it for years to wipe down guns and I never had any rust issues.
Preventing surface rust.

Breakfree CLP is similar to WD40 and is used as a cleaning solvent/lubricant.

Go to Lowes and purchase a stand alone portable dehumidifier. I have one in the basement and we’ve not had a problem with humidity induced issues as you have indicated.

Good Stuff~!
I use "Blue Wonder", as its like putting a raincoat on your blued weapons;
no rust from use, no humidity issues, and helps a bit to resist holster wear
on firearms~!

I use "Silicone Spray". My guns don't even show fingerprints, much less rust.
I spray it on. Wipe it off with a paper towel. Forget about them.
Pledge furniture polish works too.

It's still an ongoing experiment, but I'm using silicone spray on all of my guns.

Many years ago my friends and I started using a coat of silicone-based car wax on our hunting and CCW weapons. We found that it gave us better protection from corrosion that lasted longer between applications than any grease or oil product then available, plus it wouldn't "migrate" onto clothing or rub-off with routine handling.
As a bonus, we found that our firearms given this treatment could be stored for prolonged periods, such as between hunting seasons, and not show any rusting or other deterioration of the finish even if stored under less-than-ideal conditions. And unlike grease or oils, they won't attract and hold dust, lint or other airborne crud which can absorb moisture or react with it to form acidic compounds.
Since the demise of silicone car waxes, I've been using a couple of other products which have given me perhaps even better results: "Renaissance Wax" and the Blue Wonder "Armadillo" mentioned previously by Ala Dan. When applied as directed, they've proven to be highly effective, tough and very durable. Both can be had from Brownell's, Midway USA and other sources.
