Jet engine corrosion

I flew Folland Gnats in the 60s at a seaside location in North Wales. I recall a procedure called a LIX wash whereby some anti corrosion fluid was sprayed down the engine, while it was running, about once a week. I don't recall any corrosion induced engine failures; this was the Bristol Orpheus engine.
