Default Rust

Hi guys, i own a 93 Type RA and its starting to get a few rust spots on the back wheel arch, drivers door and corners of the rear panels under the lights is there anything i can do to slow the rot down? and when these old Impeza's start to rot does in normaly spread over the whole car fast?

Under neath has never been under sealed too so thats got a bit of rust on but its solid at the moment.

No probs, hope it does the trick. The Deox C stuff they sell is very good at getting rid of corrosion, the Gel can be applied to panels on the car it comes up like new metal.
