    File, sandpaper and polishing buff . . . takes awhile, but not, too,
    bad.  We have cast stakes that form pits, we can't all have forged
    stakes *grin*, and they have to be filed, then emery sticks/rods
    depending on shape of 220, 400, 600 (I suck at sanding so I have to
    go 800 and 1000 grit to get a mirror finish on the polishing wheel),
    then polish. 

    Petroleum jelly coating, with (if you like) a cotton sock over them
    (steel tools/stakes) when not in use will protect them from your
    environment (we have humidity like you wouldn't believe up here).
