Rust is getting worse! what to do?

[maddogsback]

OK heres the deal, in the rear driversite quarter panel near the front was a small amount of rust starting when i bought my 95 honda civic lx and now its getting worse how can i stop it from continuing and get rid of it the easy way that will work. i do not have the money to do expensive work but a quick guide on how to do this would be great.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well I am not a body expert by any means but unless you remove the rusted section it will likely come back. Those rust converters seem only to work on surface rust, so you can either cut out or grind all the rust away. For more info search google for rust prevention and elimination techniques.

how bad is the rust?, has it started to eat the metal or is it just surface rust?

go to a body shop, I had some rush fixed on my civic, in same area you have yours, I think that all hondas rust around there (well the older ones)

Spray salt water all over the affected area, and while your at it spray the rest of your car that might get rusty. Salt neutralizes rust.

it has started to eat the metal and is getting worse. it started about the size of a quarter a year ago and has began to grow to the size of 2 tennis balls.

there's some stuff called ospho (I think that's how it's spelled and you just put this stuff on top of the rust with a brush...

Call like a marina shop that sells paint and stuff for boats...they'll be able to help you out
