You can apply toothpaste to a damp towel and then rub it back and forth on the area with rust stains. After cleaning, let it dry; You can apply essential balm to the rust stain, wait for five minutes, and then wipe it with a damp towel; If the area is not very large and the adhesion is not very high, simply add water and sand it; if the area is too large and the adhesion is high, you will need to repair the car body.
I've been driving for many years, and recently noticed some rust spots under the car, which initially worried me. Following online video instructions: first thoroughly rinse the rusty areas with car wash tools, especially around the wheels and chassis where mud and water tend to accumulate. Then gently sand off the rust powder with fine sandpaper, being careful not to damage the original paint. After sanding, wipe it dry and apply a layer of rust-proof paint or spray a rust inhibitor like WD-40 available on the market. Wait until it's dry before driving. For regular maintenance, I make it a habit to wash the car once a week, more frequently during the rainy season, and always dry it afterward to avoid water stains. Leaving rust untreated can lead to spreading, corroding the metal structure, affecting safety and appearance. Tackling minor issues yourself saves worry and money, and it's a good way to practice skills, but for severe rust, it's best to consult a professional repair shop.
