Salty climate causing galvanic corrosion.
For my every winter storage, I use my penetrating fluid* on some chrome/welded elements and let it sit through, never clean it...just wait for normal wash.
If corrosion is present on a painted surface, without crack, I would apply my penetrating fluid*, let it sit for few minutes and then polish to dry.
To do the job right, you have to remove the gas cap prior detailed cleaning, then gently apply Vaseline/white petroleum jelly U.S.P to the part contact points.
When elements are clean and free form dirt & corrosion, waxing would be beneficial.
*Penetrating fluid I use is similar to WD40
