I've a motorhome w/ painted metal side panels. The hex-head screws that
secure the panels are beginning to 'drip' rust down the panels. Said
rust isn't TOO bad at this point. Is there any way to remove the rust
stains without destroying the underlying [white] paint? (I'm going to
replace the rusting screws and either either seal them with clear
sealant of some kind, or cover the screws with 'caps.')

THANK you for any advice!

Christopher

change screws to stainless steel. check them in a year.

what about some of that rust remover for sinks...CLR or something like
that...or naval jelly..dont know if either would affect the paint..try
down low in an inconspicuous space

Any of the spray on rust removers (CLR, etc.)

Neither will keep steel screws from rusting any better than paint. Use
stainless.

I also think you should replace the screws with stainless steel.
