18 years old car as rust remove ?

Hello, my wife wants to buy a small car up to 1000€. Today we looked at a VW Polo 6N. VW Polo 6N BJ 1996 1.4L 60 HP 115.000km TÜV bis 06/15 + summer tires and winter tires should cost 600€. According to the old in a good condition. But on the rear wheel run the paint is already peeled off properly. How and how do I remove the rust and how do I treat the job afterwards? Would not like to discuss about the car, price, mispurchase, too old or so……
