Treating Surface Rust

This pertains to my '55 Clipper, but should be of interest to the general audience.

I have removed the seats and carpets from the Clipper. There is some surface rust on the rear floor boards. It looks like the carpet got wet and retained moisture, probably because of a missing floor pan plug. The metal is sound just surface rust. I will scrape and brush the undercoating (overcoating)/sound deadening and rust off, but what should I use to treat the bare metal? Thank you.
