Removing rust from my straight.

When I joined B&B about a year ago I went with the Dovo Bismarck, and in my first week or two had sustained some minor rust to not only the steel but the gold wash. I figure even though I'll trade up to a better razor once I get this art of honing down, I'd like to take the rust off it. I'm aware this will probably result in the gold wash being stripped off as well. Any suggestions on what to take this rust off with?
 
very light rubbing with a scotch brite pad. Or metal polish. Either one will work. Pad might leave tiny scratch marks.
 
In addition to what Leighton said, you can put the metal polish on a Q-Tip to keep the metal polish in the spots where you need it, and off of the spots where you don't want it.
