So i spotted this rust spot yesterday while i was washing my car..
i want to stop it before it starts to spreadd.. any recommendations? i was thinking just simply have the piece cut out.

(my car was a NY car but garage kept during winters away from salty roads. maybe a little salt got near it? im not sure. under the car looks fine, this is the only spot.)

 

Thats some nasty salt damage.....

The only way to fix it..is to cut it out and replace it with new...

That looks like its seen lots of salt

 

Mines starting to surface rust there too not bubbling like that but surface

 

Looks like the inner lip of the front fender. It may not require cutting or replacing. Probably best to remove the fender and have the affected area cleaned and treated with a rust inhibitor like POR15.

It is most likely the result of some stone chips. I think it's sad GM does not coat that lip of all drive wheels with some inhibitor (like they did on my friend's '94 Firebird, he's had it since it left the show room, and the lip on the rear quarters has what looks like the same coating in the wheel wells).

 

Yuck! Rust sucks. I recommend getting it fixed asap as it will spread fast! I'd start by grinding it down to see if there is still good metal there. If not, definitely cut and replace it. Shouldn't be too bad of a fix considered it's pretty small.

 

I agree

 

Ya I wouldn't let that go too long for sure I like the grinding and inhibitor Idea previous members have mentioned.

 

Dang, that sucks, I'm going to pull of my side skirts this summer and see what's hiding under there lol, not looking forward to it

 

mines not even that bad at 159k lol thank you arizona and boston??? (my car was bought theregot the paperwork to prove it) but mine isnt fixed yet im thinking im gonna save as much of the 1043 dollar check as possible

 

I guess I was lucky my paint was only starting to bubble on my 05 SS & sold it before it became a problem.
