depending on how bad it is, wire wheel on a grinder. thats what i used. note you will probably need to paint it afterwards
for light rust around weld seams, you can use a small wire wheel on a hand held drill. works wonders
depending on the finish you want, sand paper works decent for some rust
if its just minor rusting, use steel wool and water
if you have bad pitting, use the grinder with a wire wheel and paint it afterwards

Good results have been reported from screwing up a wad of Aluminium cooking foil and using it to rub the rust off!
I used aluminum foil folded up and water! Water creates a chemical reaction with the pipe and aluminum foil that eats the stuff away 
Coke and Alum foil will clean chrome will clean surface rust good . If the chrome is pitted down to the nickel plate you will have to re-plate.I used aluminum foil folded up and water! Water creates a chemical reaction with the pipe and aluminum foil that eats the stuff away
4 hours with rubbing compound and one of those cone things on my drill and then polished after. The before looked pretty close to the lower left picture above only mine had that blue/purple tint to it near the flange connection as well
Aluminum foil and water i works amazing good and after aluminum and water i would use mothers rubbing compound and a buffer
what I did, and found it really simple, is I used a wire wheel as mentioned above, hooked it up to my angle grinder. (I first tried with sand paper but took me forever and a day to get a tiny piece done!)
mine was pretty badly rusted everywhere...
For the smaller, hard to reach places, I used a Dremel hand tool with a wire wheel tip on.
After that, I took a steel brush with Liquer thinners and finished it off. That helped to eat the last of the rust off.
Then I re-sprayed it with heat resistant spray, and voìlà! looks good as new!
