What type of sandpaper to remove rustspots?

Alex,
first, I would use some sort of cleaner to make sure that the tiny rust spots are not just dirt. If it is in fact not dirt. Then try some Glitz. It is available at hardware stores. Rub gently using wet wool window trim. I think it is wool. Its what you put between a sliding window and the frame to keep the air out. Maybe a wet bath towel would do the job. Rub gently until you get the hang of it. If the rust still persists, then use a product from Rig that looks like a stainless steel scouring pad. I forget the name. But use oil very liberally. The last thing you want to do is take off bluing.
