    Don't waste your money on electronic toys that simply dont work.
    More than enough info on web , waste of $$$$.........
    Stick with traditional methods.
    Oils, waxes. Elbow grease, only method that works.
    Tip-
    Never put a high pressure cleaner near a car, forces water and what your trying to remove into places you don't want it.
    Always,low pressure.
    As low as possible enough to do the job of rinsing off only.
    And stay away from auto car washes, they recycle their water,how many guys have been to the beach today?? salt/chemicals in the water!!!!.
    Cheers

    the 1999 gu st i picked up has an electronic rust protector installed, but due to poor maintainence from the last owner there is rust in some places.... i reckon the electronic protectors work, you just have to look after it as well

    I just removed a 10 pad erps system from a rusted out gq .
    It had rust repairs previously and had been sitting 4 years with a flat battery near the beach wich obviously didn't help.
    Wondering if it is worth fitting into mine.

    These toys need a wet surface for the current to flow across the metal panel.
    And due to the fact the power used is so minimal you need a pad on every small panel.
    and a few on larger panels.
    Thats the reason 10 pads had to come off the rusted out car.
    So unless you own a submarine forget it.
    They do not protect against chemical corrosion never ever.
    salt will attack a metal panel ever minute of the day.
    The flat battery had nothing to do with it
    this is a whole other process that small current/power can not tackle.
    Stop wasten your money fellers and stop believing the cleaver marketing.

    Fact-- chemicals and power are actually use to strip metal clean in the metal plating industry.
    admittedly higher power and acid but I think you follow what's going on.
    and don't forget salty water is a mild acid even creek water can be corrosive.
    just an example to help you understand what's realy going on.
    I know this for a fact as I have a plating kit and do exactly this to clean metal of rust and/or old plating.
    leave process running to long and you keep on losing good metal.

    "we used this to protect our mines 4x4 and it worked a treat".
    stop and think do they keep these vehicles, the answer is no never.
    just work shops with unlimited budgets.
