Rust on exhaust pipe

Hello all,

This is my first post on the forum so... yay me! :)

I recently bought a used wee 650 2007 model and I found some slight rust on some parts. Specifically on the exhaust pipe and some connector under the radiator (See attached images)

The pipe seems in general more discolored on the right side and more rusty on the left side of the bike so I assume that the previous owner was just letting the bike on the side stand to dry and the water gathered and dripped from the left side.
The rust on the pipe doesn't seem to be that bad (actually it looks worse on the picture than it is).
Is it safe if I use sandpaper to remove the rust? And then apply some corrosion protection product?

What do you guys think?

Thanks for the welcome and comment. Just a note on the Mop & Glo: This stuff cleans and protects very well. This may be due to the polymer and Rosin Modified Maleic Resin content. I first read about this cleaner and polish on the Aprilia forum and I suspect that it protects better than WD-40.
