Cleaning top of table saw

Well the mess in our shop has FINALLY pushed even me over the edge and I cant stand it anymore. So I have started cleaning.... 7hrs into it, and i barely made a dent.

anyways, our table saw has some surface rust and some other contaminents, whats the best way to clean it? I know when its clean its like brand new, but im not sure....

scotch brite pad and oil should work nice, i prefer a silicone based product over wd40 but that should work as well

Also on the metal go with the grain of it to avoid showing scratches

On a table saw I would use very fine stainless steel or brass wool. Then I would give it a higly polished coat of wax. I would not use any normal surface protection cause you would not want it to contaminate the wood. Maybe it doesn't matter cause you don't do trim or furniture.
