Just bought a CounterAct electronic rust protection kit for our car. It basically sends a negative charge through the metal which helps fight off corrosion. Since I've cleaned every mm of metal on our car and its current rust free and freshly painted I figured now was the time to install it. Its something to try and see how it works. Guess I'll find out if it was a 200.00 waste of money next year or not.

Anyone use these or have any experience in the technology? I know its widely used throughout many industries to fight corrosion including bridges, oil platforms, salt mining, beach machinery etc.

wont you get shocked opening the door? OR no....because standing on the ground you will be infact grounded lol. Sorry for the dumb question.

Well that is just freaking crazy!! I never heard of that for a car! I worked on a lot of Impressed Current Cathodic Protection systems while in the Navy. I can tell you it is a must have for ships but on a car? I guess it is good in theory. For $200 I guess it is worth a try. I would be very interested to see if it works. I looked at the web site and it seems they know that they are talking about. Let us know how the install goes.

this is the same process i use to clean many of parts
but submersed in an electrolyte, it works great

Should have it installed in 2 - 3 weeks when I start laying out the wiring and electrical. I've heard of it in many other industries but kind of excited to see how it works on a car over the next year.

In the oil industry we'd use cathodic protection on a lot of stuff. Metal piping with corrosive stuff in it, and a lot where you have to dissimilar metal flanges coming together, like when you bolt a stainless steel pipe to a carbon steel. The dissimilar metals generate an electrical current that increases the rate of corrosion, so the cathodic protection works to prevent that.

The theory is sound on a car, and they certainly are subjected to corrosives over time, rain, dirt, dissimilar metals etc.

Just build the whole thing out of carbon fiber, then it won't rust. I wouldn't mind having a Mustang that weighed 1,300lbs either.

I'm planning on doing this also.. I did research about six months back.. I was very impressed with the information that I researched on it.

I definitely love the idea , since i live near the beach , please keep us posted!!
