If it has rust on it, use Naval Jelly to clean it off You can have the pipe cleared over to protect it but I think it looks a bit silly. I use WD-40 on my Pro Circuit Pipe after I clean it. WD-40 keeps it from rusting.

Ask any hardware store they will kbow what it is. If you live in the US or Canada you can get it at Home Depot or Lowes.
