Same basic idea, with pictures at The Wood Whisperer:

I received this from my girlfriend as a gift, right after I got my table saw:

Excellent stuff. Keeps my saw top like new even after 15 years, with the last 6 years being in an unheated shop. Lots of condensation in there, especially in winter. The bit cleaning sauce is a bonus and keeps my router bits and saw blades in fine condition. When using the rust remover, make sure it's in a well ventilated area. I use a scotchbrite pad for cleaning and the top coat for smooth sliding. Never an issue with stains on wood, which I did have with the wood-40. Only used WD-40 once, never again. Sanding is just as effective, so is the paste wax method for protection. It's definitely the cheaper alternative.

+1 I bought one of these kits after I bought an old table saw and jointer. Both table tops were moderately rusted and in not the greatest shape. After using the rust remover, some scotch brite pads, some sanding, and lots of paper towels, the surfaces looked like new. I can still see the original fly cutter marks on the table saw now and the jointer table surface looks like it's brand new, even though it's 40+ years old. The Boeshield T-9 does a wonderful job of protecting from rust and leaves a nice slick surface.
