Electrochemical rust prevention
I'd love hear opinions from owners of this system.

Does this system really work, particularly in geographical areas where large amounts of salt are used during winter?
Thanks.

Dielectric Grease is the best...we use it on the 4wheels we use for mudding. Every one that uses atv's and such use this stuff. IT dose wonders...and we submerge our 4 wheelers handle bars deep...have yet to have a prob.

BTW, this system would not be for our '92 Accord. My wife and I recently bought a Florida '05 Lexus LS430 that is in mint condition (16.5k miles) and that's the vehicle I want to keep that way - at least until I get over it's newness. (I haven't yet. )
Here's another system I've run into today:

This one uses sacrificial anodes that under harsh electrolyte solutions deteriorate instead of the car.
Anyone using these systems and, if so, what do you think of them? Do they actually prevent and stop rust?
Thanks.

no its not for rust per say...its more for electoral connections you don’t want to short out or corrode...hints using in on 4 wheelers we take mudding. We use this stuff on all of our connections so that we won’t have a short in ANYTHING when the whole ATV is in the water...and I mean everything is the water....except my exhaust and intake filter. I will be usein this stuff on my go cart mud buggy when I finnaly get to build her with my honda f18 4cyl power plant...hahaha this thing will be sick

I don't really know if that works, but rust IS actually an electrical process, so there's some basis for that stuff.
If the car were made only from 2 or 3 different metals, it would be good. With a large collection of different metals connected together electrically, and submerged in electrolyte (saltwater), it gets much more difficult.
And to really counteract the electrochemical process of oxidation, you'd have to make sure all the parts are electrically isolated from each other, then use that system to apply a voltage in proper proportion to the EC potential for each particular type of metal. Not real easy.
If you try it, let us know.
