All rust is something to worry about, it won't stop progressing until dealt with

just tried poking it, its solid still.
what can be done to stop it progressing?
its literally just on the surface. looks like its just the start of it, want to try catch it before it gets worse.

The only thing you can do is sand/cut back to bare metal & paint it again.
I wouldn't bother with that tbh.

Think you can apply Krust, its like a rust treatment turns the rust out.

You can get rust treatment stuff yeah, loads of types they will clean it up/slow down the rusting but the only way of resolving is replacing the metal unfortunately.

The bodyshop that looks after my car has acid he wipes on rust that takes it back to bare metal..
I'd recommend trying local painters asking if they'd acid it for you then just hammerite it or somthing your self..

that acid you talk about is actually zink phosphate comes in wipes or comes in a 1ltr tin to apply with a brush.
not cheap but deffo does the job and will never come back once treated with it.
