Best way to touch up scratches on M4 barrel

[MeanGreen]

I have a couple of scratches and scrapes on the barrel on my M4. What is the best way to touch these up to prevent any corrosion? I live on the coast in what seem like a never ending fog bank, so I need to worry a lot about corrosion on my gun.

Corrosion X, BreakFree or EEZox seem to have the best rust prevention.

"Boeshield T-9 is a heavy-duty, rust and corrosion preventive developed by The Boeing Company for lubrication and protection of aircraft components. Specially formulated combination of solvents, waxes and lubricants coats and protects smooth and porous metals from rust and corrosion. Displaces moisture and lubricates at the same time. Dries to a thin, waxy film that will not harm paints, plastics and vinyls. Not easily removed once dried; requires mineral spirits or degreaser. For firearms applications requiring better than average protection against moisture indoors and outdoors. Good choice for long-term exposure to salt-air environments, areas with high humidity or extreme wetness. Available in 4 oz. and 1 gal. containers, 4 oz. and 12 oz. spray aerosol cans."

Would this also work for dings and scratches on the receiver? I got a NIB M4 but it can with a nice "ding" in the receiver that shows bare metal. I did get the gun for $1095.00, so I am not feeling to bad about touching it up.

 

Anyone try Alumihyde II on their M4, good or no good.

 

Thanks,
