Can anyone recommend a good product to protect aluminum tubing from salt water corrosion?

Thanks

I soap and water almost daily and a light coat of Shela Shine every 30 days

I use Corrosion Block- I apply every 3 months or so- spray on a rag and wipe on - easy and it lasts- much much cheaper than Woody Wax

Where do you get Corrosion Block??

Corrosion Block

You can buy here or at West Marine , Boat US and I'm sure at many Marine stores etc etc

I've never tried it on the pipework ....but that stuff is amazing ..but it isn't cheap .. $15-16 a can

That stuff unfroze a hinge on the "barn door" of my Tahoe (Dealership wanted BIG BUCKS to replace it )

Has anyone used the Woody Wax Metal Protector to seal it ... after applying the Woody Wax ??

I just spoke with them last week about another product ...Great people to deal with!!!

It's great stuff for fittings,snaps and electrical componants but for pipe work I just feel it's too greasy and bugs/dirt etc stick to it. After you soap, rinse and chamois most of it has disappeared anyway.

If you want to just shine it up and provide a short term UV protection then try the Aluma Guard by Rupp [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
