One simple DIY way to clean it is throw in some gravel and strap it to a cement mixer. Hard part is getting the gravel out... A chemical etcher or rust remover might also do the trick.

If you clean it and don't seal it, it will rust again - probably faster than before! I've seen kits for about $50 including cleaner and sealer, check Napa Auto Parts or POR15.com for examples.
