How du you clean the inside of the tubing of surface rust och small loose particles? I’m planning to spray the inside with anti rust spray but need to clean it first. Air compressor? Is it a bad idea to put some heavy dudy clening spray and water in there? Do I need to brush it?

Steel brush or steel wool on a stick, go along the thread with a steel or copper brush to get any rust out and use a stick with steel wool on it for the inside of the tubes, could even use rust removal chemicals, steel is quite resistant to chemicals so as long as you wash it properly dont worry about damage from that, make sure you get rid of the rust properly or don’t bother painting the inside because rust spreads like a cancer
With a toothbrush. You can use any rust remover.
I mean, one way comes to My mind.
So, You get Yourself some rust convertor, liquid one would be great and run it through that frame, than iirc with most You wash out the rest of it with water, let it dry and than go and use Zinc spray, well, might be something else Zinc based as a coat, letting some oil run through it or that other stuff, or even better use some Cablegrease, it’s used in the Automotive industry as well to prevent and coat parts of the frame to prevent them from rusting.
At least that’s how I woould do it.
There’s no reason to try to remove the rust. It’s not going to rust out in your lifetime.
I’d say electrolysis but I’m not sure what it does to the integrity of the frame
