at walmart they have a thing that is a rust converter. its a spray, it will basically make the rust go away and make it all good again.

You can also put a bit of silicone in your lug after you clean the studs and that way it will prevent water and such forth from getting inside the rust trap lugs and make a nice seal so no leakage :)

Or teflon tape will work too.
