Recipe for anti-corrosion nut & bolt coating? . . .

Here in western NY state, I kept an old 1990 9000CD for many winters and intend to do the same with my '01 9-5. Some of the hardware on the 9000, however, was prone to rust and corrosion. I'm sure it's no different on the 9-5.
Specifically, the recessed mounting grommets for the roof rack--since they are dissimilar metal from the body, I'm guessing--became a source of rust underneath the rubber weather stripping. I'm sure that the moisture under there didn't help matters.
QUESTION: What sort of treatment can I use on them--and also the license plate bolts and other miscellaneous exterior & door hardware--to keep them in newer condition?
I'd think that ordinary paste wax would be good and perhaps not react with the rubber surfaces the way an oil might. But I'm no expert.
Please feel free to share your ideas--thanks!
