Hi Chris, Adam and Marten! Thank you for your useful answers!
I think, we should handle the XOs with care and keep them away of any moisture or salt water exposition, even if they are supposed to be nearly indestructible, in order to prevent such damages (as Adam pointed them out). As for the surface treatment Marten mentioned, it could be an useful solution, but most suitable in labor conditions (that is for our repair centers worldwide).
