I've noticed that some of the tensioners and similar parts have started to show their age through corrosion.

Any suggestions to stop/prevent this?

Can you easily get the pieces off that you’re looking to refurb? If so I’d start with a wire wheel. Can make nasty aluminum and metal look new again.

Move more than 100 ft from salt water. I have had this forever. Paint and aluminum finishes work, chrome rusts.

This thing spent it's whole life in Orlando until I got it 3 years ago. I'm 10 miles from the coast as the crow flies.

I just wondered if there was an easy preventive measure.
