I live abroad but have a scooter in mother garage for when I come on my holidays to the UK. I’ve not been back for 2 years because of Covid and when I got back I was shocked to see a lot of surface rust. Any tips on storage and preservation?

Clean off the rust and use ACF50.

as previously stated
- clean off the rust
- Wash & dry thoroughly
- empty fuel bowl on carb if possible
- make sure tank is full of petrol & oil
- cover with ACF50 liberally. I normally get a bottle - but for this use the aerosol version may be better
- cover with a blanket

Keep it off the ground too. A half pallet is good for this.
