RUSTCHECK, if you can get it. Widely available here in Canada and probably the USA too but unsure about yonder. It's an oil, a creeping oil. Gets into all the tight places and remains there. In harsh climates like ours we heavily salt the roads in winter which is brutal on unprotected metal...

I consider a hard tail bike one that has no rear or mid suspension. I am not sure what we'd call something with no suspension at all. Yes indeed regarding the spiked tires (we call them studs over here). In that winter picture above, the rear was a Schwalbe GT365 and the front a Continental...
