Treating surface rust

[RickH]

Have a large pair of Car ramps ….mild steel angle iron.
Looks like never painted, probably got 20 yrs of surface rust.
Metal is sound .. what options can you suggest to clean off surface rust and then treat surface.

I could just wire brush and paint with direct to rust hammerite ? (Or more likely Smoothrite) …. Or open to suggestions.

I did mine with hammerite , no problem.
