Can one of the experts tell me what to do with galvanised steel when it develops a few rust patches. I was in Google mode and thinking to clean off the rust with the usual methods like wire brushing and sanding and such then spray with zinc. Is that not correct??

Thanks for the guidance. I was going to get a can of zinc spray and spray it on to the cleaned up surface. It is only for a trailer so quality isn't an issue.
