Default removing rust from jointer

Any ideas on removing rust from the bed of a jointer?
I use paste wax on my tools, but didn't use the jointer for several years.
The rust is too thick to wipe off: I'm pretty sure I'll have to sand it.
Is there a liquid rust remover to use first?
Is there anything better than mineral spirits for removing paste wax from
metal to have a clean surface to protect again?
