Winch polish/cleaning

Simple maintenance question: what product do you use to clean salt pitting/marks on barient winches? I've tried a metal polish to no avail.

I figure they're anodized, so not much you can do. Light scrubbing. No wax or compound (for me) because don't want slippery or wear of the protective oxide.

You might have to .... "lower your standards" ... !
:)

More seriously, Plan B might be to refinish those drums by having them "hard coat anodized".

I'm just trying to keep up with the "Christian Williams maintenance schedule" which may be a hard act to follow. ha. I think I can safely let these ones keep doing their duty for a while and then revert to plan B if necessary. I just thought maybe there was a simple solution I was missing to keep them looking perfect. Thanks.
