If it's just a bit of surface rust, waxoyl or similar should sort it - use a hairdryer to warm the frame tubes and make sure it gets to the extremities. Bob Jackson recommend Dinitrol ML, which comes in an aerosol; you can get an extension hose which makes it easy to get into all the nooks and crannies. Both Waxoyl and Dinitrol seem popular with Land-Rover enthusiasts, so they are both presumably fairly tenacious.

These seem like rust proofing sprays. Which I'd need anyway so thanks. But I'm not sure they'd treat existing rust would they?

According to the Dinitrol can it treats existing corrosion and delays its progress; AFAIK Waxoyl is also full of corrosion inhibitors. I wouldn't rely on them to treat really heavy patches, but if it's just the normal orange surface dusting you get in a frame it should be fine.
