vehicle rust proofing

I would think that any currently produced motor vehicle would provide an assurance of 10 years plus freedom from rust provided that you keep it away from salty environments. The panels are manufactured with rust resistant finishes.

As someone who has had some experience with industrial pipeline protection using Impressed Current systems, I know enough to not spend a cent putting a wacko 'Electronic Rust Protection' on my vehicle. They pretend to use the same technology but for simple engineering reasons they cannot. Give it a miss.

But if you absolutely believe that electronic rustproofing on your vehicle works.... then it works for you! As some will soon attest!!

Plenty of information out there that shows no, zero, zilch evidence that they work. There is also some experimental results that show they do not work. I have had several vehicles over 10 years old that have no rust and no EPS. A good wash down after beach work, a bit of Lanotec on the underneath, and immediate touch up of any bare metal is the cheap and effective way to go.

Dont waste your money I did and car still rusted.

Most vehicles are dipped at the factory to rustproof them so why scrape it off to unsuccessfully do the same thing

It would be interesting to do a bit of research on the lifesaving vehicles and how they perform, there on the beach all day everyday, pretty sure they were running the elec rust devices at one stage.

I know the quad bike things dont last long, without rust device.

They are as good as a Hiclone!!!!!!

Remember the copper bracelets for arthritis.......if you THINK something works, you'll probably convince yourself that it does..

Sometimes people ask a question here....but they are already convinced it will work..

But if you listen to anyone here, save your bucks and buy a can of fishoil..

Every 6 months!! Be nice to have the time!

hi
with the better processes that is used on vehiclesthat are made these days
i fail to see why anyone would want to waste their money on rust prevention
my 1996 diesel4wd mazda bravo has no rust in it and its been dumped into savory creek on the CSR in 2003 it flopped into some elses bog hole as i crossed and water spewed out from under the bonnet in every direction the only thing that failed later on was the windscreen washer pump
ithas been driven through salty water on many beaches over the years all i ever have done is give it a good saturation with rich mix of truck wash all underneath before going on those trips and left the truck wash underneath then hi pressure washed it on return home
everyone is welcome to come and look it over if you don't believe me
as pop said the system has been successful in transferring money to the retailers bank accts and they haven't stopped laughing to themselves each time it happens
bit like weight loss programes the also make your bank balance liter but your body stays the same in summary it's your money don't bother me if you like throwing it away
i tried the electronic shu roo units another gimmick that works tranfering money to the retailers acct but has bugger all effect in scaring roo's
also tried hyclone and took it back for a refund another money
transfer system the list goes on
cheers

Hi, Thanks for your valued replies. I think i will give it a miss.

Great idea - but about 40 years too late. Would have loved to have one on my 1976 FJ55 Landcruiser ....they rusted to pieces.

Ive had a complete , side panel, sill & turret skins off a DMAX, It was completely dipped in the factory, Shiney grey in every nook & cranny,with the best structual welding ive ever seen in a vehicle body, Get a inspection camera and feed it into the sills , pillars, up through the dome light, up under the dash etc, you wont find any bare metal. No i dont own one either. But i would.
