If its just surface rust, sand it off. If its deeper, get some ranex rustbuster (phosphoric acid 35%) and it will turn the rust back to metal.

rust back to metal? hummm



got any pics of your corrosion? Like said before if its surface corrosion, you can remove it to with a greeny wheenie, the little green scrubby things for dishes. If its deaper then that, remove the most you can then use possibly rust buster, never heard of it, but hey I dont know much outside of the US. First remove it, BOOK definition, nothing can stop corrosion, you can only slow it down.

Wipe it down with a light coating of oil, or spray it with WD-40.

Use Boeing T-9 Spray to prevent corrosion. It was designed to store aircraft parts
