I own a spheros 8000 as well. Great reel. I pretty much clean everytime I come home from a trip(dont really mind). I usually rinse it with the hose, let it drip off for a few minutes dry it and then clean it off with wd-40. One thing though, I did get some corrosion on the lower lip of the spool. It was a bad egg since I had only used it 6 times before it started happening. I had called Shimano and explained it to customer service. They had sent me a new spool the next week(great service by the way) Put the new spool on, its completely spotless no issues at all. It was weird, the spool that they had sent me was much more durable and tough compared to the one that went bad. I dont know why... Anyways great reels for the $$
