When yellow rust spots appear on my own car, I start by cleaning the affected areas with regular car wash soap and water, avoiding hard brushes to prevent scratches. Rust spots are usually caused by brake dust or airborne particles sticking to the paint and oxidizing, which can lead to deeper corrosion over time. Next, I apply a specialized automotive rust remover, though white vinegar from the pharmacy or toothpaste can serve as temporary solutions—apply, wait a few minutes, then wipe off. For stubborn spots, I carefully use fine-grit sandpaper to lightly buff the area, followed by a touch-up paint pen or a thin layer of car wax to seal the surface. Prevention is key: I wash my car at least once a week, park in dry, well-ventilated spots when possible, and promptly dry the paint after rain or snow. Ignoring rust spots can lead to gradual body deterioration, while proper maintenance saves hassle and money in the long run.
