If that 'corrosion' was green/white-ish green(sometimes yellowy) and fairly even then it is not corrosion, but rather Cadmium plating. It is natural for cad plating to turn green-ish with age, and it does not hurt anything when in that state. Best not to polish cadmium...It is rather toxic. I always leave the metal on cad plated chassis alone.
