Yeah - very true, but it takes a long time. I recently removed the original items from my 54 plate R75 and if they hadn't been spanged on a truck and bent, they would have been fine for refitting with very little corrosion of the fins.
If the item in question is clearly and visibly knackered then don't bother cleaning it!
