Soda blasting is great, but it needs to be done either in a cabinet, or outside!  It truly is a messy operation.  Washing it away with water sounds easy, as well, but in my experience, the stuff gets everywhere, and it can take multiple washes, even under pressure, to get rid of the stuff.  I found it inside springs, latches, and locks on my hard saddlebags, a year after I used it to remove surface rust from the latch mechanisms.  I still like it, as it is a pretty fine abrasive, and it does an excellent job of removing surface rust (you really do have a fine level of control over how deep it goes).  It just has its own set of drawback's.  Cheers!
