Chassis rust advice

[RPE11Y]

Just got myself a nice Mk 1 Tuscan and very pleased with it.
This is my 11th TVR and doing my usual detailed inspection underneath, the chassis seems good and solid with most of the original coating intact.
There are, as you would expect, a few little areas of surface rust which I would like to treat over the winter, so my question is do these need to be rubbed back to bare metal or can they be treated directly?
The main reason for asking is that they are generally located in very difficult to access points for rubbing down, so trying to save myself some grief...

Any advice appreciated thanks.

There is a thread in the Cerbera section giving different options and products. Some paint on to kill and convert the rust and some rub down.

Bare metal is by far the best way if at all possible. I have little faith in so called "rust convertors". Although they may be better products on the market since i last tried any...

You are one cheery person mate???

No the T350 has no rust whatsoever, i am referring back to the 80's and various failed attempts to keep minis/fiestas/dolly sprints in one piece.!

Sandy, it was a banter as I took your comments here to be.
