    Near mint G5200. Advice?

    Here you can kind of see under the deck, doesn't look at all rusting but it seems I didn't get it as clean this week as I thought, hard to see under there. I need to do a good wipe down of the whole thing, dust from 10 years of sitting in a garage. Otherwise, she's all there and clean!
