Out of the box ways to clean rust?

Hi Everyone,

I have rust problem at funky places on my krisses.
The thing is, most of them still have nice stains so I prefer not to wash and reapply warangan just to get rid of these rusts.

In one case, I have nasty reddish rust at the pesi. The rest of the blade was cool so it's quite a bad idea to clean the entire kris. What should I do to just clean the pesi?

In another, I have this blade that is estimated to be from Segaluh era. There is rust just at the bottom of the already pretty thin kembang kacang. Another session of rigorous traditional cleansing can break the kembang kacang, so I'm thinking about using non-conventional methods, relying heavily on modern chemicals. Ideas, anyone?

By the way, I'd like to post some image but got no idea how to do that ... The posting image button seems to be asking for some URL instead of attachment.
