Rust in CA?!

Yup, but not where you'd think. Several months ago I found pinhole rust all over the hood and roof. I used some elbow grease and wax and buffed most of it out, but today I looked up on the roof and found it back and worse than ever. I buffed most of it out again but I know it's just a bandaid fix. Is there anything else I can do?

By the way, the rust is appearing because it's fairly foggy and wet around the bay area.

thanks,
Steve

New paint job.

My old Chevy pickup was like that and now there is hardly any paint left on the roof. I think the only way you will fix it is to sand and paint to seal the metal.
