the cold blue that I did a few years back looked top knotch but provided no rust protection at all

Cold blue? As in birch wood type in a bottle? It doesn't add rust protection, slow rust blueing does and hot caustic blueing does offer rust protection. Slow rust blueing would cost an arm to get done, but looks awesome.

Its a time factor that slows the process down a bit but its still not too bad
