The smell of WD-40 drives me insane, is there any other way to de-rust a bridge?

Recently saw an ad for this stuff:

Haven't used it though, sorry.

Most small, bench top ultrasonic cleaners don't work for shit - at my business we just sold one we paid $1400 for and bought a $9000 unit. The $1400 unit could not even remove coolant well after 20 minutes. Our $9000 unit removes all kinds of shit in 60 seconds. But, even after you clean the parts, some of them still need oil. The saddles are chrome plated so those won't be too much of an issue but the lock screws have black oxide on them and will still rust if you don't oil them. You could get them re-black oxided if you have access to a company that does that but unless you send stuff there already it would be cheaper to replace those parts.
