Sandpaper is very effective at getting off some of the residual spots of carbon buildup and spot-cleaning rust. I've also heard that using an electric sander with 60ish grit can be very effective at smoothing down a rough finish. I'm going to try it myself with a customer's pan here soon, but definitely wear an N95 if you're going to do that!
