This guy here explains a steel wool technique which I think is what you're mentioning:

By using a very fine steel wool, oil and being really cautious do I run the risk of ruining this gun?
My objective is to keep it's value as much as possible.
Bore looks fine to me and so does the inside, here are some more pix:

I called Colt and they wont refinish anything they don't currently manufacture.  The representative suggested that I get in contact with Turnbull Manufacturing or if I want to sell it that I visit ColtCollectors.com
He also said that if I was to sell it then I should leave the rust so as not to disturb the manufacture's original finish.
This thing just sits in a case, perhaps I'll post it on the classified section and see what kind of reaction I get.
Thanks for responding!

I need to have some surface rust professionally removed from my gun.  What gunsmith on Oahu would you recommend?  Any other suggestions?
Many thanks in advance!
