Greetings from Socal. I live near the Pacific Ocean and the salty air is munching my chrome. Its a never ending battle applying chrome polish / protection. Some parts are already pitted. Curious if this is a problem for those of you away from the coasts?
 
Fwiw.... I live near a salty coast in a "Mediterranean climate", now I'm 50 paces from the waters edge. I've sealed my shed and run a dehumidifier 24/7. Condensation during winter is the biggest issue here.... most condensation advice leans towards "venting" which only makes sense if the air outside isn't salty. For salty enviroments it's seal the shed, keep humidity <60% etc.
