Rust!! Arrgh!

OK... this may sound worse than it is, but I found some rust in the right front wheel well of my car. It is against the footboard of the passenger, right next to the oil lines running to the oil cooler (#1 in pic).

Is it common to have rust in this area?

It isn't like it rusted through... just some surface rust.
#2 and #3 aren't rust, just dirt.

Here's what I'm thinking; but I have no experience in this area:
1. Clear the stoneguard in the area red marked area (#1) and maybe even a bit more.
2. Take a wire brush, put it on a drill and brush away the rust and the area around it (as large as the marked #1 area).
3. Take a fine sandpaper and sand it out a bit.
4. Paint the whole area with "Zinga". This is a paintable zinc coat and works very well against rust (but darn expensive).
5. Apply some fresh Wurth SKS stone guard.

Any comments on this?
How do I best remove the stoneguard?

Thanks,
Michiel
