Rust is something we try and stay away from at work, because it's just a pain in the arse.

But I can't avoid it as there are a couple of small areas bubbling on my own car in the usual places they always bubble at, so I need to sort it out.

I will be sanding the areas right back to try to get as much out as I can, but then I would ideally like to apply a high quality rust treatment to the area before priming and painting etc.

I've had a small pot of Jenolite treatment that I've used on a few small jobs, but I would like to know if there is anything better?

I've heard good things about Rust Bullet but never used it.

I know it always comes back in the end, but the longer it stays away for the better!

Thanks for the suggestions so far.

Haven't heard of those treatments, so I'll take a look.

I now just face the struggle of finding clean metal!

I've found in the past that even small patches of 'surface' rust bubbles maybe the size of a 50p can be really deep and a hell of a lot of sanding or grinding is required to find clean metal.
