It's *VERY* important to stop that rust ASAP because it _NEVER_ sleeps
and will eat up your beloved 'Benz whilst you're snoozing...
Basic fix ? simple : get a big short handled wire brush , some filthy clothes and a pint can of Rustoleum paint & a 2" brush ~ wire brush the rusty bits & paint them , the Rustoleum paint is fish oil based and encapsulates the rust so it stops . (Eastwoods crap is well , crap) .
