All metals oxidize. In the case of ferrous alloys (high carbon steel, stainless steel, etc) this oxidation is RUST.
:plus:

Cleaning any metal will remove the metal. Cleaning any Oxidation will remove the "scab" and starts the metal corrosion process over again.

Yeah so what?

No big loss normally on Stainless, Titanium, Gold, Platinum... ;)

But on your Aluminum Spars that are designed for major forces...

Take care...

Like my Mother used to say...
"Don't pick your scab!"
