A chemist told me rust does not spread. The top of my refrigerator gives me some doubt. It’s covered in these spots. The center of every spot is a small break in the paint, but the rust all around those spots is on top of the paint.

    Probably rust particles that have spread around in condensation - should be able to wipe that right off (not the actual rust at the break in the paint, of course)

      It does not wipe off with a rag. I have some proprietary rust stain removal liquid, which I think is intended for when rust gets on fabric. But I guess I’ll try it on these spots. Otherwise I’m left with some kind of abrasive approach.
