Default Rust

Ok so my bike was unfortunately outside for a few days in rain. Anyway it rusted up quickly. Any suggestions on how to detail it? Products? The rust is in little areas like to holes where the passenger foot pegs attach to the bike.

Evapo-Rust works well. It will not harm painted or chrome plated surfaces but makes rust disappear fast. You will probably have to use some Q tips and toothbrushes to apply it in tight areas but it works, it works better if you can soak the parts in the solution but other methods work but require multiple applications.
After you remove the rust squirt a little WD40 on the metal to give it a little extra protection from moisture.
