How useful would grease be as a rust preventer?

There are quick a few parts vulnerable to rust such as manifold bolts, exhaust bolts, caliper bolts and various other brackets and fixings.

Would there be any point in smearing these areas with say lithium grease to prevent rusting or would the grease wash of pretty quickly?

Depends on their exposure. Another consideration is that grease can hold in contaminants if they get through, exacerbating and hiding the damage.

Look up ACF-50. I treat my entire motorbike with it twice a year. It is great stuff.

Could be exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks.
