Try 5% ammonium citrate solution(50 gm citric acid ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] /1 lit water+some ammonia ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] -pH must be 3,5).Only citric acid works too.After treatment neutralize with 5% baking soda [in bulk on eBay or Amazon [affil link] solution(to avoid flash rusting)Hope it helps and good luck!
