FYI: it takes longer than a year to lose a spar to corrosion. This has been a known issue on PA28/32s for some time and the reason Piper came out with SB 1006 in the 90s. And if your ACF50 or CorrX is dripping out for 2 years its just a waste of product and not increased protection. FWIW: I find CorrX a better product having worked and lived along the US GOM. And just to add, another corrosion related bulletin you may want to address in addition to SB1006 is SB1304 if you continue to operate in salt-laden areas.
