Electronic rust protection, Does it work? Options

[Mangozac]

Hi everyone,

OK a friend of mine works in aftermarket car sales so she sells stuff like tinting and mats and rust protection.

I live by the beach and unfortunately I'm not able to garage my pride and joy so I was thinking that rust protection would be a good investment, especially seeing as I can get it on the cheap

The question is though, does it really work? The car is still in quite good nick and other than a few stone chips there is very neglible rust around. I've read the theory on the electronic rust protection and it makes sense but I remember that people are always scoffing at it whenever it is mentioned.

So if anyone can confirm its' performance either way it would be appreciated.

i dont see how this would work.

everytime you get in or out of your car, you would ground your car. And every time it rains, it would ground your car. So how would this rust protection work?

You can not force electrons on to metal and expect it to stay there for ever. it will be unstable and want to leave to something else.

You are right but that's why the electronic unit is continually operating to 'top up' the charge from when it does get dissipated.
