This is a common condition caused by humidity in the shop. There are a number of approaches to dealing with this. If it is heavy, then you want to spray on a penetrating oil or a specialty product like Empire Top Saver and scrub it with an abrasive product. An approach that works great for lighter (non-pitted) rust is to take a Scotch bright pad and press it down onto the table top with a palm sander. Run the palm sander and scrub the top. This erases light rust quickly.
Thanks for the comments. Yep, Johnson's works well also and I have used it many times. The producing in the video is Bostik Top Cote tool sealant, which I like because it is quicker than paste wax. But wax paper is even quicker (and cheaper), so I use it for a quick touch-up when I don't feel like spraying.

Good tip. I like to sprinkle baby powder for the same effect. Not my invention - picked it up somewhere many years ago.

Why not just use paste wax, like Johnson's? I do that all the time, it works great and is easy to apply and buff out.
Don't get me wrong, thanks for the tip, I may need that some day!
