If its a giant it'll be aluminium so frame won't rust, moving parts should oiled.

Completely the drivetrain and cables, and apply a tiny amount of oil to both

By drivetrain I mean all these bits, an old sock would be perfect

This is the one I prefer, available at Halfords. It has the right stickiness and viscosity to stay on in the rain, but does not allow crud to stick to the chain when you apply the right amount.
