It is recommended to spray the exposed leg with a silicone spray or WD-40, if they will be extended for a long period of time. This would be the part that extends and retracts into the main housing. This is to protect against corrosion.
Also I try to remember to wipe them off on a regular basis just to keep dirt and dust off of them to help protect the seal from damage during operation.

I love using Boeshield T9 for so many things on my trailer. I think it has really good lifespan and protection and doesn't squeak as badly as a silicone-based spray.
ACF 50 is a really great product also. Same aerospace roots as Bioshield but is supposed to penetrate deeper and last longer. Both are excellent protectants perfect for exposed metal.

Do you use Boeshield on your kingpin and hitch as well?

I don't have a kingpin or hitch but if I did I believe you can use it for those. From what I have read, it is safe for electrical as well and plastics/rubber. I wasn't overly concerned with overspray when I was quieting some leaf spring/shackle noise and my levelers.
