Treating surface rust
Some one started rubbing the car years ago before I bought it. The high areas were exposed down to bare metal after rubbing and unfortunately left
untreated. So over the years, surface rust developed. See the picture below
If I am treating a whole panel, I would strip it back as much as I can with wire wheels, flapper disks, etc then use something like De-Oxit then wash
it down with water then wash it down with metholated spirit before etch priming. Can I follow the same process if I am only treating few spots (I mean
not the whole panel)? What would De-Oxit do to the adjacent areas with paint and undercoat still on?

You should not get De-Ox on any other painted areas. Ideally you should strip the whole body back to bare metal at the same time. Soda blasting will
remove everything but rust.

I have been using Gibbs Brand Penetrating oil as rust stopper. Works great, gets into the metal pores, such a fine molecular structure, it gets
between the metal cells(?).
Have a bare metal job siting for 2 months....ZERO surface rust.
Having said that, it would be perfect for those little patches, but for the right body job, media blast and protect with Gibbs. Without going that
far, I would get the wire wheel and 3M disc to get the crap off, then protect with Gibbs.
