"...leave it a shiny metal color..." Bad idea. It'll have no rust protection whatsoever.
"...muriatic acid..." Forget it. It's messy and will give you a toxic mess to safely dispose of. Naval Jelly, CLR or any other rust remover will do nicely. Mineral spirits will degrease it, but nothing else. Vinegar will just make it smell like a salad.
