Lower corner of the rear door has some emerging. Wonder if anyone has used something they think is particularly good.

I've tried Kurust - works ok for while, but its a losing battle really, you're just delaying the progress of the worm.

grind it back with a wire brush on a powerdrill until you can see no more rust, then, rub it really hard with G3 for a few minutes just to be sure. Then spray it with a coat of hammerite's direct to rust primer. Rub it down with 800 wet&dry then primer it again. rub it down again and apply a layer of hammerite's beige coloured filler type primer. yep, rub it down again. Then finish off with 2 coats of the appropriate coloured regular primer, rubbing down between coats. then you can spray it with some of the top colour - 3 or 4 coats should do the trick, rub that down with 1200 wet and dry between coats, then laquer 2 or 3 times rubbing down with 1500 wet and dry. after the final coat of laquer give it a good going over with G3 or some heavy tcut.
There is simply no other way to get satisfactory results on rust treatment. You have to remove ALL of the rust and effectively treat the metal as though it was still on the production line about to be painted the first time.
