depends where the rust spots are. if they are tiny spots then cardboard and autosol will do the job. go gentle and you must polish round the way and never up/down.

TBH if your not stripping them down (i would recommend you do, to weld the rebound holes up) then pour some paraffin in the forks and pump/slosh a bit then tip the rest out and leave upside down for 1/2hr.

a pic of the rust might help.
