This is what many woodworkers have recommended to me over the years:

Easy to find at Lowes, HomeDepot, Walmart, etc, in with cleaning products.

Back when I had a cabinet grade table saw with a cast iron table, I used bee's wax on it. I would use a fine steel wool on your rust spots, rubbing by hand. I certainly wouldn't use a power sander of any kind, but just me I guess. Now I just have a cheapie "hobbyist" saw with an aluminum table, so no worries there.

Gallon lasts me over a year. I bought a sweet pump spray bottle as per Amazon recommendation. Very handy for my forge area, equipment maintenance etc. I have a couple spray cans for tight areas, nut and bolts, battery terminals, boat stuff etc. it isn't cheap but the rust busting abilities, creep and protection is the best I have found. Spray cans are 12 oz and run 15-20$, a 128oz gallon is a deal.

When I had a rust area on my table saw caused by a cold beverage bottle I used a sanding block with a fine grade sand paper. Once all the rust was gone I used a paste wax to protect it.

I use Johnson Paste wax on my tools. Keep the beds dry and don't allow anyone to put a soda or bottle on your tools.

I use automotive wax. Seems to hold up better than regular paste wax.
