Default holding off rust

Just a heads up, when washing the car I found alot of rocks and dirt built up in the front of the rear quarter panels (where the side skirt screws to the steel) in the wheelwells.Mine is not rusted there but it would be if it wasn't maintained. Are there any other placesto watch for rust break out on these? I am going to get it up in the air and por-15 sone of the seams that are starting to bloom under the car. Northeast living at its finest, chasing rust.

I have some rust starting on the trunk. I dont have a good pic of it, but if you pop your trunk and look where the weather strpping is closest to the window; where that part of the trunk touches that is starting to rust a little.
