im sure many have already heard of it, im planning on giving it a try, i was skeptical at first but ima give it a try. its been used in the salt industry and mining industry for a while now. and some trailers and boats come equipped with them

And instead of just the its garbage ff the bat, does anyone have experience with this themselves or know a friend who has tried it?

Search in Chit Chat (I believe) there was a big post about this.

My friend's Subaru Impreza uses this kind of stuff as rust proofing method from the dealership. Like it repels salt or something.

His car is about or close to 2 years old. Can't see much at this point.

I'm not saying the product doesn't work but that add is bull****.. how can you have two examples of the exact same picture, one with rust and one without.. either its photoshopped or it was rusted out, they replaced the fender and hooked up that thing..

^^ I was thinking the same thing...

to be quite honest, i think if you wash your car regularly ESPECIALLY in the winter you can do almost as much as this thing can, cuz i'm sure it doesn't TOTALLY stop a car from rusting...

it might work but i'm sure it's over hyped... as to how well it actually does work...

i picked one up today from ct, 199 plyus tax the guy says its supposed to be like 80% counterative to rust and all, and so i guess we'll see how it goes. ill try to take pics of it later, its real simple n basic.

i sell them at work for $162.50, what they are supposed to do (according to the manual) is keep the electric charge needed on ur body panels (1/4, fenders etc...) but yea it keeps it charged to the metal compound doesnt loose its electro something that creates rust or whatever metal is made of and needs that electric current.. lol im lazy to go get a manual, but apparently it works pretty well, never really experienced it tho but its a hot seller

imported_crazydragonclk

ya its supposed to keep ur car metal in negative charge to reduce the oxidation process of rust, "It provides rust protection for the entire vehicle body, inside and out. Precents and inhibits rust up to 80%"

heres what my friend said it does but i dont really understand it muich except for the non scientific and chemical stuff.

"No not really it is also electrical -- with the exchange of ions e.g oxygen in water is 2- abd fe 2+ therefore ripe for oxidation which produces oxidized iron which is rust- this keeps the metal (negatively) potetialed so the oxygen doesn't get attracted"

imported_crazydragonclk

is it the exact same kind you sell at your work? and do you guys take cash maybe ill return the ct one i have since its 199 anyways in your oppinion do you think it works?

imported_kungfugrip

yea.. i sell about 20 a day cause people buy them to put on their new cars and stuff

come down to toyota on front and come see me in parts bro, $163 is list price man.. u know ill hook u up, i would say u can walk out with one for 150 or even less!

They do actually work. My brother is at Mac for chemical engineering. I asked him, he explained it to me...basically the science of it is legit.

cibs

the science of it being legit is different than it working...

like you attach it at one pint... does it carry that charge fully across the whole car? say you attach it in the engine bay, how strong is that charge near the back 1/4 panels? etc...

many things work in science.... but don't work in real life...

i guess we'll never really know if this works fully... :S

i'd still get the car rust proofed yearly

imported_climax

Id just rust proof it to. The science of it makes sence. But for one of these to work you would basically have to be driving underwater everyday. I wont get into the science of it. I have a friend at university of Guelph and they did a study there, if I can find a link I will post it.
They use systems like this in underwater pipes and it works but doubt it works on cars.

imported_JDMman

many things work in science but don't work in real life???

that doesn't make sense.....

the science of it makes sense... but when applied to be used by a small divice as the one showed above on a large area like our cars... the science still applies.. but to a certain extent.... you can say that it will only work to a certain distance or that you would have to apply more in certain areas of the car for it to be usefull to the over all car.... the science still makes sense... but it depends on the factors involved on how well that science will work.

imported_crazydragonclk

well to test the science of it to see if it works, one can jsut hook it up and use a voltmeter to measure the car points of the body like the quarterpanel

according to the websites about this differenct companies that ive read the application of this devie is different from the underwater technology they use on boats and piping this is a modified version of that but basically works on the same principle.

lol u cant just test the quarterpanels for voltage

imported_crazydragonclk

how come, explain?

ic, theres another one that is sold from the above mentioned the company had the same thing happen to them but the outcome was different "which were subsequently deemed by the Bureau to be adequate and proper"

also some additional notes

"At the Bureau's request, CAP performed additional tests on the device which were subsequently deemed by the Bureau to be adequate and proper. As a result of these additional test results, the Inquiry was discontinued on June 18, 2004"


it can be found on their website
