Naw, you'll just goober it up trying to fix it. It'll have to be replaced.

You can't buff out rust. The fender will have to go to a body shop.

the plastic can be fixed - its called a plastic welder (about $35 from harbor freight). i got one for christmas. there will be a seam, but it can be one whole piece again.

theres a rust spray that can slow down the rusting process. it reacts with the corroded metal and makes an epoxy. not as good as replacing the rusted section, but its better than just painting it and rusting through again in a year.
