Noticed my first rust bubble.. have coated it with fluid film since I bought it but never noticed this before hand. Im sure it was there. Should I just trust in the fluid film for now until I see worse?

get it while it is small. tape it off, sand it down to metal, treat it with an anti rust primer and rebuild the paint. Its on the rocker panel so much easier to do now than when it does get bigger because it will.

Take cut off wheel, cut out damaged metal. remove paint around area to be sure all rust is removed. including inner fender, treat with POR 15 . cover with Mopar fender Flares. don't forget to remove inner fender. I did my 09 approx 5 years ago no visible rust . Dont forget to clean out and treat front fenders at the same time
