Corrosion On Guides

[BigFish]

Took out my rods today and noticed one of them....about 3 years old, has some light corrosion beginning on the guides. You know...that green haze? Any tips on what to clean them with that will remove the corrosion without damaging the guides? I clean them really well after each use. WD-40?

WD-40 and a Scotchbrite pad lightly buffed. Before each season and several times a year I give my rods (guides included) a good washing and then a coat of good car wax and buff out, Water beads right off and doesn't gain any purchase on the metal work. ( psst, hey Larry, you should be fishing!!!!)

the more you scrub the more it will apear later

a good washing and then a coat of good car wax and buff out

I use this stuff from amsoil, any anti-corrosion would do.
