I use a Permatex spray on called Extend.
It catalyzes the rust, turning it black, but stopping
it in it's tracks. Sand it (get rid of the loose stuff
you don't have to get it all) Then spray it.
It turns black (where rust was) ands seals the surface.
works great!

boards the black was rust. Best part is you are removing
minimal metal as you don't have to grind out the rusty
metal work,.
