ELECTRONIC rust PROTECTION

In the case of the VS Commodore I installed one in no it didnt It still rusted.

I think they are up there with Hiclowns and fuel polarisers.

After all most cars are rustproofed or the panels are treated before assembly

I have one and watched one rust spot in particular for 4 years and did not get worse. See for more feedback.
Cheers

Well, I know that mine works, but I'm not going over that all over again !!! Check out thread 43334 from a few years back. It is all explained in detail !!

Its black magic stuff, in the same category as UFO’s, water diviners, crystal balls, leprechauns etc.
Oops I used the word black – this could get moderated.

This is one of those subjects that is up there with ones that mention politics, cooper tyres, engel or waeco etc - however without getting into a debate with anyone - if I was in your situation and not able to sell it after repairs done, I would look at the electronic rust protection as an extra form of insurance to the repair work and your ongoing maintenance.

I have it fitted on my Prado and many people remark on its paint and chrome condition - even just last night someone positively commented yet again! I got my "rust" unit at the "right price" so thought why not. I had also seen 3 other 4WDs with them fitted that i never new were until told about them. Their paint condition were excellent which led to me finding out about the elect. rust protection fitted in their vehicles.

I did a lot of research including a few lengthy discussions with an auto elec friend who works amongst the fuel refinery and the caustic conditions there. From that I would ONLY buy and fit a ERPS (Electronic Rust Prevention Systems unit)

My paintwork (black!!) looks fantastic and is easy to clean and the bullbar and other chromework looks fantastic without any need to polish the chrome, I just wash it. My Prado is over 10 years old but does not look it!

Anyway if you are interested in them why not look on ebay etc as they are available there (like just about anything is) and wait until you see one at your "right" price. OK its over to the knockers....

My 80 series Landcruiser has had a genuine ERPS fitted since it was brand new.
I have the rustiest 80 series I have seen and the entire paintwork is a faded matt finish.
The rust has formed in very odd places too and not where salty water would be likely to sit such as high in the pillars etc.
Make of this what you will but in my opinion a chemical rust prevention system applied professionally is a better investment than an electronic system.
