84 Firebird a few MINOR Rust spots(no holes)

Can somebody tell how to clean up my rust spots, treat them, add bondo/bodyfiller, sand and primer. This are just surface rust spots. Its very cold in MICHIGAN right now, so I'll be in my garage. It seems like something a rookie like me can handle with some good coaching. Somebody HELP....

Thanks yall

sand it down with dry sand paper, take it to clean metal. if you can't, then get some rust eater spray (walmart carrys it) and spray it on the rust. it'll turn the rust into black primer. to add filler, just get it to bare metal (for best results) then just mix, apply, and sand it by hand for the straightest results.
