Default RUST problem. How do I remove Rust???

Anybody here know what is the best way to remove rust from a vehicle.

The engine block and underneath the vehicle is covered with rust due to Cold, Wet winter weather.

Looks really ugly and I would like to remove it. The car runs great and is beautiful.......the Rust is the only eye sore on it!

I want to clean it all up and make it look nicer.

Anybody know how to do this, or have any suggestions please let me know right away!!!

Please let me know if there are professionals I can go to that can clean this up for me. Or if there are certain "Strong Cleaning" products I can purchase to do this at home.

Navel Jelly and POR-15 are two products that come to mind. Navel Jelly will dissolve rust and POR-15 converts rust to a paintable oxide coating. Paint following use.
