Clean your car, then spray it with suitable lubricant for cars. You can even repaint on the affected surface.

Periodic washing of your car's undercarriage is a good way to prevent more corrosion. A build up of dirt underneath your car can promote rust. Make sure to spray the underside and wheel wells with either a hose or move your vehicle over a lawn sprinkler and then turn it on. Scrap away tiny patches of rust with sandpaper. Touch up small areas that are exposed or that you have sanded paint away from with touch-up paint; exposed metal will oxidize. To prevent rust, coat exposed metal with an anti-rust solution.

The main problem here is that the rust bubbles you can see on the surface are normally just a symptom of larger rot in the seam and on the rear side of the panel, rot that is being fed by dirt and moisture from behind. By treating just the top side of the problem, you potentially make matters worse as the new paint effectively seals in that moisture and stops it from escaping. Meaning the rust bubbles will probably be back with a vengeance ,shortly after the next down pour.
