What is the best temporary rust protection I can give my car before I can take it to a professional paint shop?

I'm asking this because I found a few minor rust spots on my car that I want to stop before doing anymore damage. I've heard all kind of "quick-fix" solutions from spraying burnt engine oil in wheelarches and boonet hinges housing to boiled vaseline and I wonder which would be the best solution for 1-2 months?

Anything that will keep air away from the bare metal,,,, you can really get creative if you want to.

In our case would be more of keeping the rust from spreading until we can get a professional paint job...

If someone are going weld on the car in near future, use only thin non-toxic oil. Repairing a car with a lot of cavety protection and undercoating is a pain.

Use fish oil in an aerosol.....you can even paint it if you want for the time being

Fish Oil is readily available here in Australia...used by most people

Car will smell fishy only for about 3 days....then it disapates....worth it...trust me

It's true that an aerosol will solve the problem a lot more quicker than a brush. I'll see what I can find over here.

One of the rapair shops I've visited told me they would spray the cars under with burnt motor oil every autums to prevent rust from salty roads. They were using the same type of installation as used for paiting the car just that it sprayed oil instead of regular paint.

Finger nail polish or Testors model paint, both will last months, and are easy for the shop to address...

Now that's what I would call a radical solution

Seriously, if that clearcoat would last on my car as much as it lasts on my girlfriend's nails i would be in serious trouble winter setting in and such.
