Navel Jelly - at your local hardware store. It will remoce ALL oxidation right down to the bare steel. Eat wood too if ya let it and skin.
But the metal is just way clean and no abrasive of any kind is required.
I don't remember but it might be phosphoric acid. Water will wash it away but you might want to give the instructions a glance JIC.
