You can sand it with no problem. Do not use sand paper that has metal in it. Then blow it off or wipe it down with a rag. Do not put oil on it. Rewind shops have a spray that you can use to help keep the rust off. Comes in spray cans. I have used it with good results.

Talking Re: Surface Rust on Rotor

The stuff I have seen used is a Clear Acrylic Lacquer, and just enough to seal the Laminations from the air.
