As is the case with many products, there are always “miracle” versions available. Want to lose weight? Forget exercising and diet, just take this “miracle” pill! Want to look like you're 20 when you're actuall 78? Drink this “miracle” juice 50 times a day! Rustproofing is not immune to such scams, and you have to be wary of them when you shop for a good treatment option. While some “miracle” rustproofing treatments may work under extremely specific circumstances, in general we've observed that they rarely work as they should and should be avoided.
For example, there are devices that provide something called Cathodic protection. This system basically generates a field of electricity around an item and prevents rust from forming on it. It actually functions, the catch is that the vehicle would have to be submerged in water for the current to flow and for the protection to occur. This is why this type of defence is ideal for boats and bridges.
Of the many issues with this type of coverage is the fact that the module that creates and sustains the magnetic field has been known to draw and eventually kill car batteries.
Want more info? In the last few years, some distributors and retailers of these types of systems have been sued by various governing bodies for fraudulent misrepresentations and false advertising.
Here's the gist of it: If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
For recommendations as to where people should go for rustproofing, you may contact the Automobile Protection Association as they have specific tried, tested and true recommendations. You can contact them by visiting their website at (www.apa.ca) or by calling them at 514-272-5555.
