Car has some pretty rough rust spots, anything I can coat it in to delay the inevitable?

I'm afraid to wash my car, let alone get a little worried when it rains.

First get most of the rust off by use of wirebrush, or a product like CLR.
Vinegar works like CLR, but slower.

Then either;
Apply a rust converter, such as Brunox (EU), or Krust (UK).

or

Brush in multiple coats of 75:25 Boiled Linseed Oil and Paint thinner.

FluidFilm is good shit. It's no replacement for sanding off the rust spots properly but it slows the progression a lot. Use it on your door gaskets and they won't freeze shut in the winter.

you can chemically convert a light surface frosting of brown rust into black rust, which won't get any worse after you oil it or paint it.

but you can't stop cornflake brown rust without removing it completely from the good steel. nothing you can apply will stop it. nothing.
