Best Way To Remove Rust From Turbo Inlet?

Since I have removed my turbo heat shield I have noticed the turbo inlet has become very rusty. Any suggestions for removing the rust? and generally polishing it all up? Any goog pics of it done?

Put the heatshield back on to stop water getting on it

You would have to strip it down and get it on a polishing machine (polishing mop) or you could try a dremel

Which would be pointless as its not made of alloy so will rust again..

I have a new heat shield that I am making a braket for, but before I fit it I wan't to get rid of the rest first and give the turbo a good polish - what about metal polish and wire wool?
