alloy scale

Hi guys. Has anyone else had scale build up on their engine/components? the alternator, oil filler housing and other alloy parts have a white scale like build up on them which powders off when I wipe with my hand. moisture build up I guess. When i wash the car i lift the bonnet and leave up for a while to get air through
