Removing rust from powder coated surface

I recently purchased a wrought iron door whose surface was supposed to be powder coated. The door has already been subjected to some harsh rains and fog. I have noted some small areas of rust predominantly at weld sites . I have also noted some rust staining and maybe water staining on the door. I was wondering what would be the best way to clean these rust and water spots and what should I be applying to these doors for maintenance.
Thank you,
