I would first apply WD40 and rub the surface with "scotch brite" then apply metal polish (e.g Brasso) for 10 mins and polish with soft cloth. Then lubricate bright surface with Lanotec.
Mild acid like 50:50 Vinegar:water could also be used to remove rust. Sock small parts for about a hour and remove excess acid with backing soda and lubricate with LanotecReuel

I guess that'd help make it look better, but I'd be nervous with it as both Scotchbrite and Brasso have abrasives in them.
Great for handwheels etc, but not best for bed ways.

If I was to let you go hell bent for leather on a way like Reult suggested for 10 minutes. I'd need a "Ray" to measure the difference. You shouldn't get to hang up with abrasives, its common to wipe a way down with an oil stone. The best Surface grinders will all ways have a stone on hand to wipe down the work and the table.

OK, but the abrasives will stay there. There was no abrasive removal step included in Reuel's description, and I was thinking that embedded abrasive could hurt things, over the years.
It still makes me nervous, but heck I'm just an amateur.
