Your links don't work.

However, if your rust is actually just small dots on the paint. It's oxidation on your paint--it comes with clay bar, scratch ex, or a good quality buffing compound and lots of arm work.

That rust is nothing to worry about it is just a bit of surface rust on your control arms and such. If you are really worried about it you can grind it down and paint it with some black rust paint, but it will come back eventually. But if it was me i would not worry about it. It is not that serious IMO

Thanks guys, It was my first new car and I didn't know what to expect.
I guess I don't have to worry about it too much.

rule of thumb ... if it doesn't rust completely through, the dealer won't do a thing.

I have a 98 with lots of small rust/oxidation marks. Whoever owned the car before February 2002 did not take care of the paint at all. Is it true that with diligent waxing and washing those spots will not get worse?
