My scooter is wet a lots of times and I go to the car wash once a week... no problem with rust... At the car wash, they use compressed air to dry my scoot....

       When I wash my scooter at home, I dry it off with a leaf blower. Works great!

Salt and chloride combination out here ( Maine) is eating away peoples brake lines,gas lines,body parts, etc. and car washes are only a minimal help(even with bottom blasting) , so I won't expose my scoot to that ( nor do I trust sand/salt residue on roads) . I am going to replace everything I can get my mechanic to find , underneath my truck , that may be close to needing replacement from this...then FluidFilm it ( my mechanic calls it Gorilla Snot ). Wonder if it can be used on Scoots ?

Hmm never heard of it, sounds like it would help though bluesin. If you find out please get back to use on that.

Just last week my Doctor told me to eat more salt!  Dropped 10 lbs, getting lots more exercise and riding the bicycle. Blood pressure down to 110/70.  Feel like I have much more energy. Sort of like those guys in the Testosterone commercials.  Hate to brag but...  Was showing off at this morning's Moto Guzzi breakfast meeting peppering AND salting my meal!  ;D

Oh...  You guys are talking about salt in the roads.  Nevermind - living in the Southwest I know nothing about that!  8)
