The newer Wranglers have galvanized body which slows the effects of rust. However, contact with road salt and ocean water is an issue to address.

First step is preventative maintence. After your trips to the beach, give the undercarriage a good washing.

For the spots, clean it good with a wire brush and apply a quality primer coat of paint,followed by a top coat of regular auto body paint. I would use a high temp resistant paint.

BTW, Rust Bullet (see ad banner at top of page) provides good quality automotive paints.
