Default 140 bumpers

In the UK (at least) the problem that I've heard is the creeping corrosion line that appears along where the rubber moulding meets the metal. On a spare I removed the rubber by undoing the bolts along the back, and was horrified how deep that corrosion had eaten into the bumper. Far too deep to merely polish out - has anybody any ideas if such corrosion can be eliminated or at least be prevented from getting worse. Apparently the metal can be re-anodised but doubt they could polish out severe pocketed corrosion.
