To remove rust from those metal areas,use WD-40.
Let it soak in briefly then wipe it away.
Repeat if necessary.

I've used a product called Rusteco Gel for about eight years and it works very well. It takes some rubbing (ScotchBrite pad, stiff brush, etc.), but it won't harm paint and leaves a protective coating on the metal. Here's the info website: http://www.rusteco.com/details.htm

Boeshield leaves an almost unnoticable parrafin like coating. I've used the aerosol can application on the underside of my Chevelle and it holds up great. I was a little concerned about it attracting dust but that really doesn't seem to be a problem. I like it.

Bob:
I wouldn't put anything on the surface rust. Whatever you do will change the color. If it is now in a dry environment, the corrosion there IS a protective layer and it won't really advance or change. You know what free advice is worth.....
