Mobile antenna corrosion

[eyecue]

I am doing antenna maintenance on my mobiles and found corrosion after 1 winter. Could mag chloride be a contributor? Any tips on cleaner, sealer etc? SWR was flat and now it is climbing.

What antenna are you using? Makes it easier to suggest a fix.

I have several that are older units with no name on them. They have light corrosion but the newer one is a cheap Chinese model with galvanized bolts and they are showing white crystal accumulations and rust. Probably going to change the hardware to stainless steel. Just wondered if anyone had a go to coating like never seize etc.

I have a corrosion problem also On my P10k it pulled the threads on the lower shaft and mount. I'm going to use dielectric grease on the threads I use fluid film on a towel and wipe the outside down helps to protect it
