I have used ground walnut shells with good success for removing rust. You
may have to go in and remove rust by hand from deep places, but the walnut
shells are great for removing the bulk of it. I bought a bunch in Tucson
one year. The only thing you'll need to watch is how many you tumble at one
time, because the meteorites will collide with each other in the tumbler.
If you are not pressed for time, just do one or two at a time. Good luck.
