If it's just behind the bumper and non-cosmetic sand/grind it all down so there is no rust left what-so-ever. Use some etch primer on it and then just cover that over with some Hammerite or similar.

Was thinking of waxoyling the whole rear panel and around the arches for maximum protection or just rub back where the rust is treat it paint then laquer.

Not really sure what way to do it.

Found rust in the spare wheel well tonight.I was kinda expecting it but its not rotten yet but needs treating asap.

Also there are 5 rubber bungs there and only 2 of the have holes in.

Are all 5 suppose to have holes in the bungs to allow air in??

Rust will come back if you just cover it up. Even if you sand it to bare metal, and cover over it, it will come back at some point.

Would be treating it with hammerite Kurust before any painting or waxoyling.

Use a scraper fetch as much rust off as possible, then use sand paper to get as much rust as you can off, treat it with rust stopper/killer and spray it imo.
