    I have a 2009 (originally from Virginia). I was under it and noticed that around the rear differntial I have a ring of surface rust (or at least what appears to be surface rust). Also noticed some possible surface rust on the rear springs.

    Everything else appears fine.

    Question, is there an easy way to remove the surface rust?
