Emery is only good for removing loose surface rust. The grinding paste and oilstone method is better for getting rid of slightly deeper corrosion and keeping the surface truly flat but even that has its limits when you have deep pitting.

Aha ... now, grinding paste and oilstone is something the Aga DIY website I found was talking about. Do you know any more about that, such as where I would get the kit? Is it something I might find in B&Q?
When I said a millimetre, by the way, what I really meant was 'just a little bit' ... I wasn't planning to scientifically remove a mm of the surface. I know it'd take forever ...
