You can clean them up with some wirewool and a wire brush.

But they're just going to rust straight away. Splash out on some stainless or titanium.

Drill mounted wire wheel and then a few coats of bbq paint, it will looks nice then Razz (and will make them last a bit longer)

Like SoND said, once mild steel ones get past a certain point there not much can be done to save them Thumbs Down
