I have a 95 Jeep YJ that is starting to develop some surface rust. I don't care about the vehicle enough to take it to a body shop and get all the rust fixed so I figured I'd see if I can do it myself.
Has anyone ever tried this? And if so where did you get directions on what exactly to do? Google turned up some pages but a lot of them seem to have differing opinions.

The thing with rust it always seems to come back. You really can't do a good job yourself unless you use the proper rust inhibitors, professional paints and primers. Even then it usually reappears a few years later. Its really tough to get rid of and usually costs more than its worth.

That’s because it never sleeps.

Sand it all out, prime it with a quality primer, fill it, sand it smooth, prime it again and paint it. Depending on the primer you may have to scuff sand the primer before paint.

I had an old 91 Jeep that had some rust in a few areas, I washed it out good and let it dry out then I sprayed a liberal amount of graphite on the area and wiped off the excess. Its seemed to work quite well. The vehicle was grey so it didn't even show that much.
If you don't care too much about what it looks like and just want to slow the corrosion then you could try that.
