Scotch brite scuff pads work good to scrub clean after the vinegar dunk.
If things are rusted bad, may have to pull it out of the 24 hour dunk, scrub clean what you can and dry it off.
I use distilled water for scrubbing after it comes out of the vinegar dunk, helps to neutralize the vinegar. Dry it off, then put it back into the vinegar dunk for another 12 hours overnight.
Scrub clean again, dry off and then scrub again with WD-40 and a scotch brite to shine it up and get rid of the quick flash rust. Now it is treated so it won't rust and is ready to final polish when you get time.
