That's right. You know those whacko 'customizations' you can do to a car where you're like: "who the hell would spend money on crap like this?"? Post it here.
Anyways, I'll get things started with something I saw at Canadian Tire today: Attachment 252 It's called CounterAct: electronic rust protection. Canadian Tire flyer description (issue for 03/09/07 - 03/15/07): Quote:

- is it an active anodic sacrifice system? - does it apply a voltage potnetial between the body and an anode? - does it involve a voodoo stick? :D - mothballs? ;) - ok, not really 20 questions... :) EDIT : I got it (below) when I entered "M4P 1V8" into the postal code. |

Cars rust pretty nicely in my parts. The Geo is 10 years old and I've got some nice surface rust going on at the door sills. Still, totally not worth spending $200.00 to buy this product (says it both prevents and inhibits existing rust). I too have a 'sucker' limit of $50 (well okay, $60 Canadian :D). I did buy the Hot Wash for my Geo and it works as described (although not nearly as glamourous as the Canadian Tire 'Family' made it look on the TV ad.) Attachment 259 Quote:
2. Not a clue. It doesn't even say if the device is to be plugged in when the car is parked, in in the cigarette socket while driving. 3. Not mentioned in ad :p 4. I don't think so ;) However, according to the website there is a 5 year warrantee to the product (when installed at a Canadian Tire store and have original receipt). Also, what's with the different prices? I'm assuming that a big vehicle needs a big one of 'these' to work. Canadian Tire has always had some weird stuff for cars, but this takes the cake. I checked the website link and it seems to be working for me. |
You would need to do at least a 10 year trial to see if it works.
Here in the metro MN we get lots of salt and sand in winter, a new car purchased here with no special care will last about 10 years before some small amount of rust starts showing, and probably last even longer if it is washed and waxed on a regular basis. |
Ah, I got it when I entered "M4P 1V8" into the postal code.

It could also be a negative electrostatic charge applied to the body (with respect to what, I don't know).

I'm so glad that rust is a rarity in Florida because I really hate washing my car, and as a result don't. I still have dirt on my bumper from December when I was working on a film that required me to drive on alot of dirt roads to get to the set.
