Is this bad? Rusted metal frame under dash
I popped off the side molding from the dash board and I see a lot what looks like surface rust doesn't look to be bad but I am worried it can turn out to be a problem. My question is, is this bad enough to warrant taking the whole dash off and checking underneath? Should I clean it off and if so how would I go about cleaning it, a wire brush? Is there some type of coating I should put on it after I clean it off to prevent it from happening again? It was caused by the car leaking I believe but that has since been fixed and shouldn't be a problem.

I don't know, that does look pretty bad.
Look through the hole in the panel and you can see it goes on behind it too!
I would at very least, OSPHO it to convert the rust (iron oxide) to iron sulphate.
Maybe 3M rust defender?
What does everybody else think?
