yup... rinse and apply it... the 'ZEP' cleaner is kind of oil like.. it coats the reflector in a super thin coat... you will probaly lose less then 1% reflectivity from it but it's worth it... so what seem to happen when it get salt sprayed, it just kling onto the oil... my T5 bulb itself are 4'' above water lvl and my back one gets a decent amount of spray due to it hanging partially over the overflow... and the 'zep' seem to work well protecting the SLR so far... take it that it has only been a few weeks...

ohh and i dont remember if i posted thins or not but you want to actively cool your t5 slightly... just a slight breeze across the bulbs, this will give you better par... just a super weak breeze and no more... to much and you will actually lose par... ) i suggest getting like 4 80mm pc fans and a adjustable dc adaptor... you just switch it from one V to another to control the fan speed... the fans cost me $21 for 4 80mm i think.. and another $12 or so for the adjustable adaptor at FRY'S)
