RUSTY Florida area? I'm surprised to hear about corrosive salty-air regions in Florida. Just never heard of it? Our son lives on big island of Hawaii - near Hilo. The salt water air type of corrosion, on things like bicycles, etc. - is notorious in Hawaii. Things there - not protected, don't last so long.
Islands of Hawaii - are in the trade winds region of the Pacific - and I guess get their daily dose of salty air, naturally. I'm not sure this is the case on either coast of Florida. I'm probably wrong tho. The big island, above city of Hilo - gets a daily dose of natural rain, like 2 pm every afternoon. Perhaps the rain there, has some salinity. For some reason I've not heard this about Florida. We live 8 miles from the Gulf Coast of mid-western Florida. I can't say I see anything around our home, or in my garage, etc. - that has any appearance of salt corrosion. Cars look exceptional - easy to keep clean. No visible corrosion on anything we have? No rust on tools, etc. I wonder what the salinity is of the Florida Atlantic ocean, vs the Hawaiian Pacific ocean and the trade winds?
