Default Light surface rust ...

I'm making a couple of gate frames from 1X3 11ga , and it's developed a but
of light surface rust - you can wipe it mostly off with your bare hand . Do
I need to wipe it down with maybe some weak acid solution , or will a wipe
with rag/degreaser lacquer thinner most likely and use of an etching
primer do ? I'll be shooting the primer and maybe brushing 2 coats of
industrial enamel .
No matter what the finish , it's gonna be a problem getting it to dry
right now ...
