Since you.can access all areas of the bike for handwashing, I'm not sure a special anti brine product is needed. But label ahould say what materials to avoid use on

Also apply anticorrosive agent like ACF-50 or Boeshield T9 to components that should be protected.
I've coated the inside of my frame with an anti-corrosion product, but I'd like to mitigate any issues with the parts that get constant exposure to it.
I guess the challenge I'm having is I need to store my bike in my enclosed porch, which does get below freezing during the winter, so soaking it isn't a good option.
Last year, I wiped a different (still steel) bike down, and only had chain rust. In fairness, I was getting chain rust on another bike that never saw the winter, and was only in light rain maybe once or twice. Since then, I've been using chains with anti-rust built-in, and they look great.
I find T9 protects fine. My steel bike is sometimes white with crusted salt in winter but no real corrosion problems. Just stay away from it with detergent or other degreaser. Wipe down with rags, T9, clean rags...
Exactly. T9 and ACF-50 tend to stick and protect exposed components for a while, possibly a full season or even longer, depending on abuse. I don't recall ever having a bolt sprayed with ACF-50 rust. They might get discolored but that's as bad as they've gotten.
Wipe down with rags, T9, clean rags…
So you're using T9 on the OUTSIDE of your frame? I thought it gets all sticky and causes grit to accumulate more.
I'm using the Muc-off anti-corrosion product, which they say you can use everywhere. But I don't know how I feel about that. I guess I should try. LOL
I use it externally yes but there is no stickiness or accumulation. Wipe off any excess.
Interesting. Thank you.
