Do you mean like
THIS ?
I did this cab corner in September and it looks exactly like that today. I keep the truck inside my garage & like you said, it doesn't get wet, but there is the Florida humidity and it has not formed any rust at all.
I did replace my roof with a used roof from another truck, and that did flash rust. I just used a wire wheel on my drill to remove it and sprayed Eastwood rust encapsulator on it.
