Tadeusz,
Here in NY I have been using a metal and cement prep/etch product that I get at 
Home Depot. I don't have it in front of me so can't give you the name of 
product but it is phosphoric acid and found in the paint dept. I have been 
using it to derust a Bugeye. Apply a coating, let sit overnite, then scrub and 
rinse, repeat, repeat, repeat, etc. Labor intensive, tedious, but it works. 
It's acid and some metal is theoreticaly lost but nothing significant. HD also 
has a soy(I think)based product, Rust Remover, made by Zep, that works well and 
sometimes I use both. Someone on the list once suggested using a parts cleaner 
pump to keep the liquid moving over the part being derusted. This should speed 
up the process and I'm going to try it. 
Best
JK
