Try citric acid ⇦this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] solution(5%,you can thicken it with edible starch,after 1- 2 hours you can remove it with plenty of water) or WD 40 or Balistol(proprietary oil based rust removers). Hope it helps and good luck!

If the pretty sound suggestions advanced so far don't work, try a bit of oxalic acid
⇦this on
eBay or
Amazon [affil links]
. Wear gloves (it's a bit toxic) but it does a nice job on rust stains.
When I sold chemicals for a living, I'd sell sacks of it to boatyards, for removing iron stains from sails that had gotten mixed up with iron hardware on peoples boats.
