Try this technique. I have yet to try it myself but it looks great.

Yes, electrolysis works wonders with bits of rusty metal, and it's almost fool proof
Almost.
Just make sure you don't reverse the polarity of the electrodes....

I've tried the electrolysis method, and it does work well. But I prefer this

The stuff is expensive, but it seems to just keep attacking the rust until you end up with shiny metal with a minimum of rubbing. Run a search in these forums for Deox-c and you'll read comments. I like it.
