Default Treating rust

I have a small rust patch on both front arches and I'm looking to address the problem asap.

Anyone here addressed a similar rust problem and got any advice? Pics below

sand it down to bare metal (remove arch liner)
Use a Rust treatment, jenolite, kurust (others avaiable) etc
Fill,prime and paint

i had some on the inside of the rear arches, stone chips and those stupid wet trap trims. Had a good bodyshop sort it and because of the position he could use a paint he said was more impact resistant and then on top of that he waxoyl'd it

hasnt come back in 2 winters but it wasnt as bad as yours. i also had mine undersealed behind but that's not the issue here i guess

Hi, I use these products with good results. The dynax-UB can also be bought in 1KG tubs to apply by brush!
