I learned from a professional body guy that you can use a razor blade to scrape away any rust or flaking paint as well. The rubbing compound is a good idea though.

Do it the right way with a Dremel. It looked like there was still a little rust in that hole. If that’s the case it will definitely come right through the pain in no time.

Put some 500 and 1000 grit sand paper on the rubber of a pen, with super-glue. Sand out all of the rust. You could make a hole a bit bigger but it will better if you remove all of the rust. Then do the primer and base color as shown in video. If base color is mixed with clear coat, you can sand it down a bit with 2000 grit and polish it to shine. If base color is just paint, put another layer of clear coat on top, sand after dried and polish it.

Use a Dremel tool to remove the rust and apply a rust converter to the area before painting.

Just bought a car two days ago and I spotted a rust dot like this and my whole joy gone for a second cause I got worried if it will expand. Thanks for this video. Feeling some stress free.

Glad to see it's not just me that uses these methods, I tend to to use T Cut or T Cut scratch remover first as being less abrasive than rubbing compound. I agree with another comment here about grit paper on a pencil end, another method is some compound on the end of a Dremel felt cone, it all depends how long the chip has been rusting for.

thx you for sharing your idea. I haven't thought of using a paint brush for a tiny rust spot. I was going to spray paint on the entire area which is not needed.

If you plan on keeping the car for a long time you should use a pencil eraser and wrap some sand paper around it, get to bare metal, prime, then paint and clear if applicable.

How is the spot now and you can also use rust remover gel! It works great!

What you could do in addition is add a clear..then wait a day and wet sand with 4000 grit and then apply with compound and then polish

And be careful with the alcohol near a windshield - it can dissolve some adhesives leading to leaks
