Default Cleaning Old Revolvers With Surface Rust and Light Pitting

Most of my revolvers are stainless, except for a couple that are blued and in excellent condition. However, recently I have started to take an interest in older blued guns that have seen a lot of use and may have some surface rust and light pitting. After researching the Forum, this seems to sum up the process for dealing with these problems:

Use 0000 brass wool with Kroil or Break Free to remove the rust, then apply a coat of Renaissance wax.

Anybody got anything to add? I would appreciate any and all advice and/or information on this subject.
