Hey guys,
Some of the alclad skins on my kit have gotten corroded where my sweaty arms or forehead (don't ask) have come into contact. I imagine blood and tears would give a similar effect.
It'll probably be 6 months before the airplane flies and 12 months before it gets painted. But the corrosion is noticable enough, and in prominent enough places, to bother me. It shows as a cloudy white area, not enough to feel with a fingertip though.
Is there something relatively easy I can do to inhibit or preferably remove this corrosion? I'm not interested in getting a motorized buffer or anything, but I'm willing to try to polish by hand...
