Cheers, can anyone suggest what to use to clean the rust marks off the piston without scoring or damaging it in any way?

An update on my seized FP! I've now got everything un-seized and unfortunately found lots of crusty surface rust inside the cylinder, too much to remove with a kitchen scouring pad so I've now reverted to an idea from RBT, I've got hold of a tool to hone the cylinder, I've also got new rings from John (nice and cheap) so hopefully I should be on my way this weekend, but as I'm aware more problems lurk ahead.
I know oil is a subject covered a few times but I'm having problems getting EP140 oil, I've sourced EP90 for my FPC. Apart from John (p&p being a pain) any ideas where sells this stuff?
