There are a few threads regarding corrosion. Many potential causes. I know mouse urine is corrosive. Does anybody know if Corrosion X or ACF 50 neutralize the urine? What about droppings? If it does not neutralize the mess, is it possible that it actually promotes migration of the urine or puts the droppings in a solution that actually gets to more places in the airframe? Odd question, I know. Droppings are relatively easy to find and vacuum out, but it seems urine is near impossible to find and clean. I am a fan of the products, but the thought popped into my head. Stretch question….what about when mixed with TKS?

So I was trying to clean the 47 years worth of hardened oily grime inside my tail section out, in preparation for possibly reweighing the plane. I first tried Aero Cosmetics aircraft degreaser. This did nothing. So then I tried a rag dampened with mineral spirits. Wow that was stupid- no need to remind me. Along with the grime, It removed a couple of small patches of the yellow zinc chromate primer that gives corrosion protection. So should I: 1. try to reapply zinc chromate to those two bare aluminum patches I caused? The stuff is carcinogenic as hell. 2. Maybe recoat those patches with Corrosion X? The plane is due on it's 2 year interval to get retreated with Corrosion X anyway at annual this December. 3. Don't worry about it, if this is not a corrosion prone area?
