    Rinse it off with water and spray it down with mineral spirits or a similar non sticky product that won't hurt the rubber or electrical system.

    Boeing T9 is made for the Boeing company just for this. To stave off corrosion. I used it on our dive compressors that sat in saltwater and it worked great.

    Boeing used this product against corrosion. I have also used it on my diving compressors actually in saltwater. It can be used on almost anything.
    It's called Boeshield T9. It sprays on clear and wet at first and in a few minutes drys. It is paraffin based and should block out harmful salt air elements of corrosion. I don't use Corrosion-X because it stays wet. It works well, but doesn't dry.

    https://www.amazon.com/BOESHIELD-Corrosion-Protection-Waterproof-Lubrication/dp/B001447PEK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524606079&sr=8-1&keywords=boeshield+t9+waterproof+lubrication

    Copy and paste:
    "True aerospace technology. T-9 was developed and licensed by global aerospace leader, The Boeing Company, to fill a need for high-performance, long-term metal protection and lubrication. T-9’s unique formulation of solvent carrier and paraffin wax coating was engineered to penetrate crevices deeply, displace moisture, dissolve minor corrosion, and leave a clean, waxy coating with lasting durability—without using Teflon, silicone, fluorocarbons, MEK, or acetone.

    Tough but safe. T-9 will not harm paint, plastic, rubber, fiberglass or vinyl. It can be used on engines, wiring and belts. T-9 is nonconductive and will not cause short circuits, so it’s also safe to use on electronics. To use T-9 on engines, apply when the engine is still warm but not running. Allow a few hours to dry before restarting to ensure that the propellant has had time to evaporate."
