Question: Surface rust underneath — treat now or leave it?

I found surface rust starting on a few brackets and seams underneath. Nothing looks structurally bad yet. For a car that sees winter salt, what treatment actually slows it down without creating a mess later? I'm in DMV / Maryland. I'd rather test this logically than start replacing parts.

Salt and cold mornings punish cheap shortcuts. In DMV / Maryland, dedicated winters on the 2025 Porsche Macan paid off more than I expected on ice, even on plowed roads. Then you'll know the next fork. Have you gotten a second quote in writing? Heat soak after errands is the other window.
