I have it sitting in a heated shop with a dehumidifier running 24/7. My question is , does anyone have any suggestions for cleaning up the spotting before treating the solenoid with RPM?

Hit with some Wenol metal polish and a soft cloth, should look like new again in a couple minutes. If it is bare metal, use RPM as suggested after you buff off any whitish residue.
