How to Remove Rust Stains from Car Body?

Just rub it with some ordinary toothpaste. The abrasive is the most abundant ingredient in toothpaste, which enhances its scrubbing effect, stain removal ability, and polishes the tooth surface. Use very fine sandpaper for wet sanding and then polish and wax the area.
The other day, several drops of rusty water dripped onto my car roof, leaving very noticeable yellowish-brown stains. I first rinsed them with water but couldn’t remove them, so I tried a method I found online. I cut a lemon in half, sprinkled some salt on the rust spots, and scrubbed repeatedly—it worked surprisingly well. If that doesn’t do the trick, you can buy a dedicated rust remover for around ten yuan a bottle—just spray it on, wait five minutes, then wipe with a soft cloth. Remember, never use steel wool or hard brushes, as they can scratch the paint. After cleaning, apply a layer of wax immediately for protection; otherwise, rainwater can make it rust more easily. When parking, try to avoid construction areas. If rust does splash onto your car, rinsing it off right away is the easiest solution.
