Protecting corroding Sachs

[jenic]

My Sachs were refurbished about 6k miles ago but when I had the wheels off the other day I noticed they are starting to look a bit rusty around the bottom plate the spring sits on.

I saw in Jon.Gs thread that he painted his when he got them back as his were similar, I'm not really wanting to take them off and do that, but is there a product I can just spray on in situ that will offer some protection?

I'm thinking maybe wax oil? If that's suitable?

rolcol (maybe rolcal) its a marine grade spray on stuff, boat shops sell it

Hammerite paint/spray... some of those have rust stoppers in them ?

Hmmm might invest in some, my AP coilovers are corroding pretty badly.

If you can get at the rust coat them in this http://www.bilthamber.com/pro-introduction.php?cname=Corrosion%20Removal&name=hydrate%2080 It's what I used on mine after refurb, Silver hammerite is perfect match on top after.

acf-50 gives good protection, bikers use it on exposed metal parts
