I have used-
-Wire Brush, then reheat to just hot, no color, apply a candle, and if it catches fire wait a little bit, if it just smokes then i run the candle up and down the metal, once cooled, wirebrush again. This one works best for me.

-Wire brush, then heat to warm to the touch, vegetable oil.
