Can anyone tell me the best product to use for corrosion prevention in a Kitfox.  I am in Miami very near salt water and need to pay special attention to this.  So far, the information I have gotten is to Alumiprep to clean and then use Poly Fiber 2 part epoxy on the Aluminum wing spars where the fabric will be covering them.  Some have also said to slosh the inside of the wing spars with Epoxy, would the same 2 part Poly Fiber epoxy primer be the best for this also ?



What about the 4130 tubing, what is the best method to clean, and then the best primer to use on this ?  Would the same Poly Fiber 2 part epoxy primer I use on the Aluminum be good for general corrosion protection of 4130 steel parts ? 



Any information or suggestions will be appreciated.
