Try ACF50, it preserves and prevents more rusting. It does leave an oily sheen that dulls the original finish.
If you do a search for Preserving Original Scooter on this site there is a bit more info.

^^ +1
it was designed to keep US airplanes rust-free on carriers, or so I'm led to believe. Good stuff. Go for the pump and bottle of stuff rather than the aerosol, as it's a lot more economic, About £35. Turns rust black. no complaints here.

If it has rusted to the stage where you like it , you can give it a coat of2k lacquer and use some matting agent to take the shine out but it will give you a protective skin.
This is what we do to vw s

I've used Ankor Wax on mine with ACF50 in the hard to get to places, hasn't altered the look at all
