I like solvol autosol for its cutting action, if heavily rusted oxalic acid soak will do the job (sounds more technical than it is if you search for oxalic acid on here someone will have posted a link to the how to :) )

So Autosol is the one then as the rust is only very small dots, thanks for the advice.
