If you want to marinise an aircraft you have to do it during the build process so that all the internal surfaces are protected from corrosion - just spraying it with waxoyl after it is complete just doesn't do the job.

Have a look at your average outboard motor - dissimilar metals in a saline solution corrode very quickly, hence the use of sacrificial anodes.
