Cleaning small bits of rust.

Ok... so... the time is coming for final assembly on my Panasonic and I want to know how to get rid of little bits of rust. Some on the lug shorelines, some are in the brake cable holders, and two others are little scratches. None are cancerous, and none seem structurally concerning, just bits of rust. The bike IS 22 years old, and is in good condition considering it's age.
I've thought about oxalic acid, I've thought about wire brushes, and also simple rust removers. But... all of those are more for more spread out areas, none of these are very big at all, but since I'm gonna be riding alot, I don't want them getting any bigger.
Any tips will be great, and there will be pics of said rust (as well as a pic of the bike in it's current state - it'll look much different two weeks from now).
