The traditional preservative is Stockholm Tar, as used on rigging in the Age of Sail (and the (British) 34-ft steel vertical aerial stays) but it sticks to your hands and is fairly unpleasant unless you like that sort of thing. The problem with waxes and oils is that they're going to make the rope slippery, which you may not want.
(The other problem with Stockholm Tar is it may attract Ancient Mariners or the traditional wing of the local Yacht Club.)
Some people swear by it, others swear
at it.
