    Not much you can do Andy abiet get the polisher out and polish it down to bare metal. i would just autosol it, the treat it to a coat of body wax when your giving the main body work a wax coat ;) . patina is nice it shows age and goes with the age of the scooter. a brand new shiney rack just screams possible replacement

    Soak it in a weak solution of Citric Acid. That will etch away the oxidation. Then metal polish and clear-coat lacquer it, to prevent it from tarnishing again.
