Flitz? My father used that on some stainless 'satin' finishes and they were 'bright' finishes when he was done.  I've buffed it with a Dremel with a brass brush on LOW with powder solvent and Birchwood-Casey Sheath (at separate times). That got some out, but I was hoping for something easier/faster.

I use super fine (0000) steel wool and a fairly light touch. Some folks do this with the addition of some oil. Keep in mind that this will remove the actual rust, but the metal is still going to be pitted. However, if the rust is light, the pitting will probably be almost unnoticeable. |

I e-mailed Birchwood-Casey and they told me not to use bluing and rust remover; in fact the first two words of his e-mail were: Stop Mark He recommended using Birchwood-Casey Sheath, 0000 steel wool, and a toothpick. I already have the Sheath so I guess I'll do this. I was just hoping for an easy solution.
