I agree...detail first. Of course, if the paint is flaking off already then it's too late. I'm not sure about the rust...if it's only surface rust perhaps you could use some rust neutralizer (available at most hardware stores) then do a little bit of wet sanding and find some matching spray touch up paint at the auto parts store or dealer. A detailer or ding repair place might be willing to do this for you. If the rust is all the way through the fender there's not much to be done short of the body shop.
Another thing, is there any way to keep the car covered or garaged while parked at work or home (after it gets detailed that is)? With a lightweight quality custom fit cover it only takes me 30 seconds to cover or uncover my Bimmer, and the 12-year old paint (bright red) looks like new still.
