I have rust on my ways and would like to remove it without scatching or discoloring the ways. Any suggestions?

wd40 and a finegrit steelwool. A polish finish is nothing more than a bunch of little scratches

i used 600 sandpapper with wd40

Don't use sandpaper.....
That's a great way to kill any accuracy you have.
Steel wool and WD 40 will work just fine.

Thanks all, The wd40 and fine steel wool did the trick.
