Bob I wouldn't use rags soaked in mineral oil, it has never worked for me as, I believe, mineral oil is somewhat hydroscopic.
The two approaches that I can recommend are a good spray of WD40, don't wrap it in anything just let the propellant of the WD40 evaporate and store the crank suspended on substantial plastic cable ties.
Or, the other way which has worked for me is a thin coating of lithium based grease.
