There's the real reason right there. The salt on the rd doesn't help and the salt air makes things that much worse too.

Brake clean is good for washing it but it absolutely WILL take paint off if let sit long enough.

Clean with brake clean
sand with a flat disc
reclean with brake clean
spray with rust converter
sand with flat disc again(this basically takes all the rust converter off except the converter in the pits)
prime
paint
touch yourself
