Rust treatment for historic cast iron on stained glass window




I am currently invovled in the restoration of a historic stained class window. All of the cross members are decoratively painted cast iron. I am looking for a method that will remove/neutralize the rust in place. I do not think blasting is an option. I would appreciate any help anyone can give. I have researched products like Loctite's rust converter this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] but I am looking for something that can complete neutralize the rust and then be painted over.

Thanks,
