Apply some metal polish such as noxon, flitz, metal-glo or pikal, (also nevr-dull but somewhat abrasive) just to name a few. If stains does not go away, might wanna try nevr-dull. If worse comes to worse, you might need to resort to high grit sandpaper.

Metal-glo or a comparable product should clean that off. The polish is an abrasive, so it'll scrub off the stains with a little elbow grease.....or should, anyway.

Yeah that's no big deal, Ive had lots of blades get those grey water spots and they dont turn to rust, unless it gets down between your blade and guard.
Those spots are easy to polish out but it will take some work to keep a mirror finish. Lie Avery and Sicheah mentioned, some abrasive polish will work or You can run a grey scotch brite pad over the blade or 600 grit sandpaper. I usually do 400 grit for a good abrasive then up to 600. If you use an abrasive, I would do the whole blade otherwise you'll end up with dull spots. Also make sure you always go in the same direction with the sandpaper/scotchbrite/ polishing compound...if you go lengthwise then crosswise or circles you'll end up with ugly scratches everywhere. Just put on some good leather gloves for safety, lay the sword down hilt towards you and sand from guard to tip, guard to tip, guard to tip etc.
