Salt buildup and corrosion

We have a problem with salt corrosion on storm window latches. Does anyone know of a product that protects the window latch from corrosion and will lubricate the latches. WD40 is not an option as it does not inhibit salt corrosion

Thanks for writing in! About the lubricant, I found recently that spray furniture polish works well in lubricating and might help keep the corrosion away. The reason being that the spray polish will coat parts with a wax coating. 

Also take a look on the web site at the 91-033P latches which are a plastic version of the the 91-001P.
