Once I've derusted I wash the article in clean water, dry, then apply a metal conditioner. The one I use contains 24% phosphoric acid and I dilute this down to half strength. Just paint this on and let it dry for about 30 minutes. You will notice a white powdery coat has formed that you brush off. I then prime immediately with a good etch primer.
