It's actually quite easy to prevent. The problem with bare steel (and most metals - even aluminum) is it oxidizes very quickly. So to prevent this, you must create a nonreactive barrier between the steel and the atmosphere.

Just spray some light oil on there and you can kiss that rust goodbye! Why do you think metal parts are always shipped with a light coating of oil on them? WD-40 works, or if you don't have any some Pam cooking spray works quite well also. Good luck!
And people say that I am mean.....
