You can try getting CLR from Home Depot or Rightaid...It will take the surface rust out...
Try it on small area first.
http://www.homedepot.com type clr in the search area.

I would have to agree with superjoe83, steel wool is cheap, easy and works very well. I have shinned my bumper a few times with this stuff. Never have tried the CLR but they may be a good option as well.
