I recently detailed my car and in many spots what I assumed were bug guts were little rust spots. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle this? I know you can buy paint that roughly matches the car’s paint, but is there some kind of sealer I should use first?
No, the difference is just that spots on the hood don’t tend to grow much, especially if they’ve been covered with touch up paint. The most common parts of a car to rust is anything on the underbody, and I’d say the most common body panels to rust are right near the fenders usually because that’s where rocks get kicked up, break through the paint, and when water sits in there it rusts. Super common, just a fact of life.
