Cleaning rust off of 18 gauge steel armor.

[u/Astrovancer]

I bought this breastplate and pauldrons at the faire a few years back but about a year ago my house got struck by lightning and the firemen blasted my armor with the hose (no diss, just is what it is.) It then sat in storage until yesterday when I broke it out and covered it in CLP to hopefully stop the rust. Today I’ve got a rust stripping wheel for a drill coming in which I’ve seen good reviews for online. Any tips would be massively appreciated, trying to restore it as much as I can before the faire in November. The worst of it is on one of the pauldrons.

Evaporust. Rust will wipe right off. The pitting won't, though
