The best thing you can use is good self etching primer. You can get in either a rattle can style or a conventional two part setup (Dupont Vari-Prime works really well). Usually what I do is prime the entire car in self etching and then go back and regrind the areas I intend to bodywork. Getting protection on bare metal is essential since even in a dry garage surface rust can start to form within a day due to the humidity in the air. Please do not use WD-40 as it will cause big paint contamination problems for your painter.
