I agree and the rust out should work well.
The rust stains are probably on the surface.

I did a job last year that was almost identical.  We cleaned with an acid cleaner and then scrubbed with a Rust Out application. It got all of the rust stains out and the slate looked beautiful.

I agree with Fred. I always use a blend of these two dry acids, and a pinch of neutral cleaner as a surfactant, maybe 5% of muriatic and a 80 grit brush, pressure wash and it will be beautiful. I like Miricle Sealants 511 which will enhance a bit and is  comparable with slate.

I would start with a good cleaning with a mild acid such as sulfamic. To attack the rust you can use some oxalic acid. be sure to rinse. I would not seal it. Not a big fan of sealing exterior stone..too many issues. Just selll them on maintenance

They understand it wasn't the best choice but want to keep it maintained and sealed I'm hoping to get them on a maintenance program suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
