Nah, aluminum is self protecting from air. It almost instantly forms
a layer of aluminum oxide, which is a sort of glass/ceramic.

Any corrosion you have on an aluminum device is due to a reaction
with an acid, base or salt. Many common houshold cleaners will really
eat up aluminum. So, if your aluminum is corroded, you need to remove
or neutralize whatever it was that was corroding the aluminum.
