I my 1970 Challenger has what appears to be rust spec along the lower panel. It looks like tar, but I think it might be small bits of surface rust. The car was store for over 20 years without a wash. Does anyone know of a product or process that can assist with removing the rust, without harming the paint. I would like to keep it as close to original as possible. Thanks

I have had great luck with turtle wax's chrome polish... it has something in it that will eat rust down to the smallest speck, and won't harm paint, other than making it shiny.
It also works well on plastic lenses and other stuff, but I've cleaned pot metal trim and chrome plating that looked awful and had it cleaned down to the specs of corrosion that had went through to the metal... I use it on my rims where the rust collects in the groove of the outer lip...

What do you plan to do with the bare metal once the rust is removed ?

I have good luck with the "safest rust remover" you can apply it right to the spot. Cant say for sure about the paint I have only submerged the parts when I used it.
