Preventing Aluminium Corrosion
ChrisJ15 - 12/9/20 at 10:04 AM

Hi,
Some of the aluminium panels inside my J15 are just showing the start of corrosion.

I like the bare aluminium look so dont want to powder coat or paint.

Any suggestions for removing the corrosion and preventing the re-occurrence?

Ive often wondered about a sacrificial anode like boats have.
Something more reactive than the alloy that you you can bolt on/off.

Thanks for all the sugestions.
I liked the look of ACF50 and especially as it's used in the aviation industry.
Tried it today - works a treat! Only have to rub lightly for light corrosion and all gone.
