I'm in the process of redoing a Streethawk and the center plate and mounts for the speaker were rusty. If you don't have a sandblaster or don't want to use a power drill brush to clean with.
So I took one of those tubs you get when you're in the hospital or any tube will do depending on how big your metal will be.
And a parts cleaning brush, a stainless steel tooth brush, rubber gloves, magic eraser , Dawn and a bottle of The Works bathroom toilet cleaner.
I put the pieces in the tub poured the Works in you can add hot water too over it let it set for awhile (might want to make sure you have plenty of ventilation you're working with acid). Then take the brushes and start scrubbing parts brush will take it off the light rust and the stainless will do the rest. The wash with soap and use eraser to deactivate the acid.
Then I used Gun blue paste on it. Or you can paint.
Here's how they turned out. Might put a light coating of oil on it the same has I would if I had redone a barrel.
