Rust removal
I just got my first scooter! And it came complete with just a bit of rust. I was able to remove it with lemon juice, a tiny bit of foil, and water. Is there anything I can do to prevent more rust from forming? I keep it covered in a garage and my area isn't terribly humid. Thanks!

ACF-50 is an anti corrosion spray that the riders in the UK swear by. Clean everything, spray the bike down with ACF-50, ride. Next time you clean, repeat the process. Great stuff for keeping corrosion from starting.
Walmart, Amazon, etc carry it, though it may be hard to find just walking in to a shop. It's WD-40 on steroids that doesn't evaporate, but rather leaves a more lasting film.

I find that the only areas with rust on my Buddy are the mirrors. I use fine steel wool to remove and apply wax to protect.
