You could acid dip it yourself with some mild hydrochloric acid then scrub it down with petrol and small wire brush/after sand paper after.
The hydrochloric does a pretty good job. My dad used to use it to clean his golf clubs, just burns all the shit right off. |

Pool shops will have it for sure but also bunnings and stuff. Pretty easy to come by.
Its diluted so its not that powerful, but will still clean stuff though. |
