I read an article in one of the woodworking magazines suggesting WD-40 to be the best surface coating as far as resisting future rust based on their test results. The suggested method was to allow the clean metal to soak in WD-40 for 5 minutes, then to wipe dry. They also had a bunch of methods to remove the rust. I will sort through my collectiion and try to find which issue for you.
I have always used WD-40 and scotchbrite to clean my tools.
