salt creep on reflectors how to get off.

[Black Phantom]

Salt is very corrosive. Once it's gone through the finish it's not going to come back all nice and shiny. Best bet is to not let it get on there in the first place.

I was reading a post on here that mentioned using reptile tank cleaner for the reflector and buff to a shine like new again maybe do a search on google or in the lowermainland forums there is a post on light meter further down that post had mentioned the cleaner used for his reflector cheers.

Vinegar & water works well.

If it's just from salt water that's splashed on the reflectors and dulled them I've had good results using mag polish to bring the finish back up. (T5 reflectors)

I removed my lens covers for my PC's on my fixtue. The lights are 5" above the tank and I use eggcrate as a cover. Am I going to run in to a problem with salt creep now?

I also use T5.
Whats "mag polish" please?

[Reefer Rob]

Used to polish mag wheels. Get it at Canadian Tire etc. I believe it's the Mother's brand that I used.

rubbing alcohol from the drug stores also works well.
