[QUOTE="Brine, post: 282534, member: 1053"] The white is either corrosion or oxidation. Corrosion is bad and will weaken the aluminum via pitting etc.... Oxidation is aluminum's natural protective barrier that forms to prevent corrosion. When you say "rusting"... take some pics of what you're seeing, and it might lend insight as to what you have going on. The oxidation will simply haze/dull newly aluminum, but won't create any "rusting". The corrosion usually happens when 2 different types of metal are in contact with one another. [/QUOTE]
