Rust Protection?

[Julz89]

hey guys i was just wondering i had a car come into work this week and wen i poped the bonnet i noticed this little gadget apparently it prevents rust or some shit, i was wondering how does it work and does it really work??

Yeah ive heard of these too, looks good to me and the science seems relevant.

Paint Protection

This company sells them, they also sell a special paint protection based on glass. I used it on my car and its fantastic.

nuh its not like a cleaning product its under the bonnet connected to the battery? it looks like a little turbo timer mounted to the body wired up to the battery.

Hey dude, Its on the website under products > 'Rust Protection' Sorry forgot to mention where it was, its that electronic gadget your talking about.

I was just also mentioning the other protective stuff so interest sake.

Sounds like that VL HDT Group A Commodore "Polaraizer" is back with a new purpose.

Always knew it could do something USEFUL...

I've got one in my skyline, I worked for an auto-elec importer that we were trailing them one, it won't get rid of any rust, but any rust already in the car should slow down to almost stopping and it should prevent any new rust from appearing.

I've got the erps system in my car: http://www.erps.com.au/

They are expensive for what they are, i think the kit i got retails at about $800 to trade.

They seem to work ok, but aren't the end all to rust prevention.

There was a post about this a long time ago as these devices are used on ships, something to do with a slight positive charge on the car preventing more rust or something....not sure where that post went but I'm sure someone will correct my statement that's probably incorrect

[Julz89]

mmm that sounds sorta right i guess, pretty wierd aye lol.

Certainly work on ships, wharves, steel piles etc, but can't see how they can work out of water.

Lots of cars have them however and their owners are convinced.
