Reply to "rusted Fastrack"

I had a water pipe break and flood a corner of my layout. The area which was drenched included a Fastrack switch as well as several sections of Fastrack. Now that things are almost dry, I notice a nice coating of rust on the rails. I've never used anything abrasive on the track - only liquid tack cleaner applied with corduroy. Is there a preferred method for removing rust from Fastrack rails? I assume there is some sort of plating which could be removed using sandpaper, but is a brightboy ok if not applied aggressively?  

Would some other procedure work better without producing unwanted results? I'd hate to have to replace all of the affected track.

That really sucks! Sorry to hear that. Hope the damage wasn't too bad.
