Mike, Remember..... Gentle. Use Bronze wool. Sometimes in a pinch I use #0000 steel wool but bronze is much better & if you don't have the experience, stick to Bronze. Light oil & gentle rubbing to remove the active rust. The brown & plum colors of the metal are patina. Don't scrub it shiny. Leave the brownish/plum color on the metal.
