Help, got some rust on my paint - DetailCity.org

I got some rust from my fog light seeping onto my paint. I don't know how to remove it. I think i might need to sand/spray the area with touchup.

adn for some reason, the pictures aren't loading up. This site always give me problems with pics, other don't

You don't want to paint over rust stains. Most rust stains can be easily removed with a mild paint cleaner or a polish. I remove rust stains all the time with Meguiar's ScratchX. If it is just rust from the fog light that is touching the paint then I am sure that ScratchX will fix it. You can find it for 5 or 6 bucks just about anywhere. Look for a black tube with red writing on it. Very easy to use.

Try uploading your pictures to a photo host like www.photobucket.com and then link them from there.

dude, I love you. Thanks, i didn't think scratch X would do that. Any other uses for scratch X?

Wheel acid can also remove rust stains from paint. Actual rust... won't do much for you.
