Rust Spots?

I was waxing my car yesterday and noticed a few small small spots of rust along with scratch spot near the keyhole on the trunk (from my key im guessing). I don't know how they got there but want to get them dealt with asap so they don't grow. What can be done ? I remember someone posting a while ago that had a rust spot near the keyhole on the trunk and got it fixed at honda. What do they do, how much does it cost? Etc?

i had this scratch around my trunk that started to rust.. i cleaned the rust and used touch up paint to cover it it up.............. dont think it has spread since.
this was over a year ago.

sand it carefully..... make sure that you dont sand the paint! only the rust... if the rust isnt too big of a section.. use some touch up paint to cover it up....

cheapest and efficient way imo.....

ya...when you go to buy the sandpaper... make sure it's wet/dry sandpaper.

Then get a bucket of water and add some dish soap... mix it around and keep saturating the sandpaper in the water as you sand.

What about the green rust on emblems? Is there a chrome cleaner/polisher I can use on that without worrying about getting it on the paint?

yea i figured
cuz i couldnt find wet or dry sandpaper
all i saw was waterproof sandpaper
so i thought the waterproof ability would allow it not to completely render the sandpaper useless but still have the effects of wetting it saugashan
i recently found it
