Because you noted that you are a homeowner-hobbiest rather than an industry professional, I would want to start by making sure that when you call something 'corrugated iron' that you are sure that is what it really is. If you are actually referring to galvanized steel corrugated roofing material, what you are looking at may be 'white rust' (the zinc corroding), not salt stains. You can search this site for other letters about 'white rust', but I don't think there is any way to remove it and restore the galvanized zinc finish; I think you'll need to paint it. Ted Mooney, P.E. finishing.com Brick, New Jersey ++++ If I were in your situation I would use full strength vinegar white or apple cider with baking soda [link is to product info at Amazon] or salt. I would dry the metal and seal the corrugated iron after scrubbing the iron with the vinegar solution. I would use a spar varnish (outdoor/exterior) to seal the metal. Good luck!
