Baking soda for rust?

I have some white corrosion, caused by my battery, around the battery tray area/headlight support/frame area.

I don't really have the time to sand it and paint it now.

I heard spraying a mixture of baking soda and water on it will neutralize it and slow down further corroding/rusting. Does anyone know if it is true?
Any other easy "sprays" or whatever to slow down the corrosion?

Appreciate any input, Shawn

My first Elco was overcharging the battery, so the acid was leaking out of the battery on to the frame.:(

I kept washing it w/ water, but the rust kept spreading for about 6 months. :D

Bought some baking soda, fixed it.:thumbsup::D
