The product that Global makes will indeed do the job, but it is a solution
for which there is no real problem.  The patina of flash rust that you get
after the tumble and wash is very thin and tightly adhering.  It will not
cause any problems with particles getting in regs or valves so unless it
really bothers you  leave it alone.
