I will echo the endorsement of the Sabitoru rust eraser (I have a slight preference for the coarse over the fine version), and it might be that other rust erasers (abrasive-filled rubber) would work as well as the Sabitoru.  The Sabitoru is a favourite among flat stone sharpeners for cleaning stones between flatenings; as Darrell noted with his SJ, it cleans stones up like new.

I had ordered a package of 2, assuming it was medium and a fine, in which they came and it ended up being a pair of Medium grade, I think, as the writing is in Japanese, and the texture feels the same....

There's a distinct difference in feel (and writing) between the medium and fine I have, so you probably do have two the same.

It'll just work faster.

Medium has white writing and the Fine has red writing

Hate it when I overlook the obvious. 👀

I have a set of three different grit "rust erasers", a very similar product. I have had them for almost twenty five years and have found them very useful for many small jobs over the years. They remove oxidation from tools, even minor rust. I  think they should be a staple in every sharpener's and home handyman's kit.
