I use one of those wire brush wheels on a grinder for the rusty bits - they're not as aggressive as they look.
for fiddly bits I use scrunched up bits of aluminium foil or thin strips of emery cloth
If I want a really good polish on the exposed bits I then use super-fine emery cloth, and a once-over with Autosol.
Degrease with a solvent of your choice - I use car brake cleaner and then clear-coat
