Paul,
Yes, use some sort of metal prep (phosphoric acid). You can get Jasco Prep
'n Prime at Home Depot and probably other well stocked hardware stores. It
comes in a quart bottle and is a light green color (bottle is transparant
plastic).
Apply it with a brush or sprayer (don't breath the stuff) and let it air
dry (if that's possible today...'-) It will turn the metal dark or even
black where there is rust formed. You can re-wet the areas later or wire
brush/sand it off when you are ready.
What you will find when you get home wonlt be all that bad if you take care
of it right away.
