I have found (from reading posts on this forum) that for heavy rust, some SOS pads soaked in soda works really good (just don't rub hard!) For the surface stuff, a little Never Dull does good. Once you have taken the rust off, or at least what you can see, then smear some wax on and polish.

RusT prevention
Rust is pain I found surface rust here and there on my scoot to in hard to reach areas. S100 makes a rust inhibitor that works well and also cleans the chrome. Ive been using this with good success. Also I like to use eagle one nano metal polish helps to remove the rust well to. Hope this helps!

I use Flitz and like it a lot. Depending on the extent of the rust, plain 'ol polishing compound or rubbing compound could also be used with some caution. Even naval jelly for serious rust!
As for prevention, I use one of these Cycle Dry gizmos (basically a hair dryer) for drying hard to reach places after washing:

Hot Wire,
I found a product through J@P call "Strong Arm" Works better than anything I've seen before. Spray it on the rust, let it soak for a couple minutes, then use a tooth brush, scotch pad or even your fingernail and the rust comes right off. Here's a link with videos. http://strongarmsprays.com/

I'm starting to get a little rust inside the black torx screws that hold my hand controls on. How about getting that rust out without ring that black finish and then touching it up?
I also use air to dry my bike after washing.
