I have a decent sized rust spot on my passenger door (didn't know about the scratch for awhile...its on the passenger side...). Are there any chemicals that I could treat it with to eat away the rust? I would like to do that so I could touch it up a bit.

Rep Power: 399 The warranty. Provided of course that there's less than 36K on the car... there's a warranty on body panel rust. I don't know if you can chemically treat it and eliminate it. I know steel wool or scotchbrite will get the job done, but you'll need to paint it after that.

Rep Power: 0 Yes I would go to the dealership and give it a try and see if they can or will do anything for you, its worth a shot. And if not then you should take it to a shop somewhere ASAP, that stuff is cancer to cars and will only get worse.
Good Luck man.

Rep Power: 0 If it's caused by a dent or scratch I doubt it i'll be covered by warranty because when you dent your car or scratch it it rusts faster than normal, my physic teacher told me something about dents and oxidization for some reason it affects the area that is dented and will deteriorate faster can't remember why though.

Rep Power: 0 Correct, if it starts rusting by itself they would have to cover it under warrenty. But in my case it is a scratch that left the metal exposed. I figured it would be ok if I just somehow removed the rust and went over it with some touch up paint. Has anybody used the touch up paint before?
