Default Chemistry anyone?

Today I noticed some new rust in an old blade. It was very close to a silver ornament that looks fragile so I had to be careful.

I didnt tried the usual way, oil and rubbering, but a spray I bought few months ago for another reason. This spray is based on MoS2 (Molybdenum Disulfide). It is made for removing rust from bolts, screws, locks etc.

It removed the rust fast and easy. Also, the container says that it leaves a lubricating film that reduces wear etc.

The question is, should I leave it on? Or I have to clean it with another oil? What this MoS2 is doing exactly? Chemistry anyone?
