Hey zone

I was just wondering what people would recommend for tidying up small specs of rust on wheel arches? Any good products to use after a quick sanding/dremel. I don’t have an air compressor or anything and it’s just touch up, mostly tiny stone chips.

I’ve heard hammerite?

Thanks

Did you just dab a bit of it on the rust then be done with it? Or did you prep it all/sand down

Most of the areas I just took the rust off and applied the stuff and it has not come back .
The battery tray had a load of surface rust but this soon dealt with it (left over night) What you put on top to achieve a finished area I dont know about.
