Minor Body Work

I have to things I need to do to my car concerning the body.
The first is rust, I have rust on both my passenger and driver side rear wheel wheels, close to the bottom of the car. How can it be repaired and how much?

The second is I have some clear coat, I think, pealing off on my driver side quater panel, close to the roof, how can I fix this? I was told to wash it, use a pre wax, wax it and then use a sealer. Will that work?

Lastly, not body work, but it bugs the hell out of me. Around my windows, where the black tirm is....well the black tirm stuff has worn away and it's chrome now, it looks awful. How can I fix this?

Let me know if you know how to fix that black trim thing coz my EG also has that problem.....
About the rust, I may just send it to a body shop to fix the rust since I think for that kinda aged civic, not only the surface has rust, may already have hole and need to weld. Keep me update for that black trim

Black trim pieces are easy.

sand them all with sandpaper.

CAREFULLY mask around the pieces with tape and newspaper.

paint with tremclad rust inhibitor paint

several coats or as desired.

also works for wiper blade arms as well..
