Yes. Now, with the smart tushy non-answer out of the way. What are the parts? What are the parts made of? What kind of corrosion? Airworthy or static? What resources do you have? |

Static, aluminum. Corrosion is of the white rough smelly kind(no holes), kind of like surface rust. |

If you upload a photo we can point you in the right direction. There are several ways, mechanical or chemical. Mechanical Sanding, Blending, sand blasting Chemical WO1, ACF50 etc They can also be combined. Normal practice for airworthy is mechanically removed and then chemically treated. |
