Electronic Rust Protection

eerfree,

G'day If you do a serch you will find this subject has been done a LOT.

My advice is Get your car chemicaly rust proofed and don't even entertain the thought of useing electronic rust proofing.

I had electronic rust proofing put on my 2000 TD Cruiser. It's not fallen apart yet :),,,,,,,,,But I've got my doubts. I live very close to the sea and I've not seen the rust build up that I usually see on things that are left out in the open.

It seemed like a good idea at the time. That was when I had money ;)

You'll never know how good it is or isn't until your vehicle is the last one standing in about 20 years time with immaculate body panels.

Snake oil

Had it on my old 55 series cruiser. It definately helped with the rust....:))

No rust before fitting, Lots of rust soon after fitting.

Would save my money.

A friend of mine told me if you consume two Tic Tacs a day you will never get Malaria, he has been doing this for 30 years and really, he has never contracted Malaria. The same applies to these Electronic rust proofing devices, the fact that your vehicle doesnt rust, doesnt mean it works!!! Michael.

And Dr Karls explanation

It seems to work for some, cause more rust in others. It's been banned in the US. So who knows.

I don't have one, a mate of mine does and he thinks it works. only time will tell.

Michael (Moss Vale) makes my point.

QED, Mike.

But it was part of package and seemed a good idea at the time ;)

Well there you go, all above saying no no, Ive had the erps on my vehicle since new, 8years and 200.000ks, at least 1 weekend /week in 4 on the beach , give $100.00 to charity of your choice if you can find any rust on any part of vehicle that is NOT independantly rubber/plastic mounted.

Had it fitted to my 4wd after chatting to a mate who is a member of the surfers life saving club..they have had it fitted to thier 4wd's since 1988 and swap it over to the new 4wd's when they replace them..the mate stated that even the stone chips are rust free and these 4wd's are on the beach all the time day in day out.l suppose time will tell with mine..hope it works as well as they state

I believe the real question is which system do people use. The dodgy systems use the sacrifcial annode system which is what boats etc use. This only works when the object being protected is in the water. Capacitive Coupling is what is required for objects being protected which are no in the water. I believe there are only two capacitive Coupling units on the market ERPS and Counteract.
