If the rust isn't too bad I would still use fine wire/steel wool dipped in oil, followed by metal polish (solvol autosol).

Re: coil springs polishing
Contact Hagons for new springs - or shocks - and save the hassle.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Probably, as there's no irony there.

Re: coil springs polishing
Well I'm not certain about ironic content either.
I'm not sure if the OEM shocks are rebuild-able so if buffing up the springs doesn't have the desired effect then new shock for sure and of course definitely if they are leaking.
