Ways to get rust off machines/racks?

[Grantamato]

I just bought the bulk candy route, and I also got a bunch of spare machines and racks that have some rust. What methods do you do to get rid of the rust? And how do you clean your machines on location?

It's a lot easier to cover up rust with paint. Get all loose rust off with a wire brush or sanding disk, thoroughly clean with alcohol, then paint with a rust covering paint.  Rustoleum safety red matches Northwesterns, Rustoleum semi gloss professional black works well for stands.
