stone chips turning rusty

[sipepguru]

Hi guys.

I did a good clean my car last weekend, and noticed 3 stone chips on the bonnet and 2 on the roof aswell. These may have been on the car when purchased but i never did anything due to laziness i guess and the fact they were so small,

anyone got some tips before these get bigger?

Sand the small area? and get a touch up pen?

do i need any rust killer, its only gonna be surface rust i guess.

dont honda have a 10 year pant warranty?

I've been working on my chips and scratches recently. Halfords own brand rubbing compound is 3 quid for a big yellow tube. It took out most scratches. Even some I thought would need paint. I also got them to mix me a bottle of touch up paint which was about £9 for 100ml which is loads and the color match was good. I just rubbed the chips down with the compound which took the rust off and then filled in with the paint and a fine artists brush. Once dried I gently blended it in with the rubbing compound and gave it a few coats of diamond wax.

10 year warranty doesn't cover stone chips or (my) badly flaking alloys sadly.

As soon as i see chips i use a touch up pen from Honda.This should stop any rust forming.
