Default HVAC rust

My HVAC unit already beginning to develop rust underneath the
compressor after only 5 years. Its just a little but it is the first
sign. What is the best way to treat this.

Basically it won't rust out before the end of it's life expectancy.
You will get about 15 years out of today's hvac outside units.

I have the same problem. Paint on a lot of new stuff, along with the
hardware is junk. Remove the rust, sand, prime, and paint (preforably
with a paint gun). Feel free to clear coat too. Use all loi based
paints. Rustoleum is great for this. Then repalce all the rusty
hardware with stainless steel.
