What to Do When There Are Many Small Rust Spots on the Car Paint Surface?

First, try using a wet towel or cloth to wipe the car body to see if the small rust spots can be removed. If they can be removed, you can handle it yourself. Gently scratch with your fingernail to see if it can be scraped off. If it can, it is likely tree sap or organic matter from the air that has fallen on the car and adhered over time. First, try using a clay bar. Wet the clay bar and vigorously rub it on the areas with rust spots, then rinse with clean water. If that doesn't work, you can also use a specialized iron remover spray on the rust spots on the car body, then rinse thoroughly with water.
When I first noticed the small rust spots on my car's paint, I was a bit worried and immediately took action to clean them: First, I washed the entire car with a mild car shampoo, focusing on scrubbing the rust spots to remove surface dust and grease. Then, I bought a specialized rust remover and sprayed it on, waiting a few minutes for the solution to penetrate the rust stains before gently rubbing them off with a soft cloth. If the rust wasn't deep, after this treatment, I touched up the spots with a matching paint pen to cover them, and finally applied wax to protect the paint and prevent recurrence. When parking daily, I avoid shaded or damp areas to reduce the accumulation of rainwater and dirt that could lead to new rust spots. After washing the car, I make it a habit to inspect the body, filling in small scratches with wax as soon as they're spotted to keep the paint smooth and tidy. With these preventive measures in place, rust spots no longer trouble me.
