Have been useing the normal methods of rustproofing over the years but its hard to get it into the areas where there is double panneling. Thanks for the replies thus far fellas. Great site .
Just be careful. http://www.carsavers.com/tipconsumer.htm

Other have said it. Sacrificial anode works well in specific applications, but I don't know how it can work on cars. I believe the little boxes that pulse "energy" through your car are up there with Hilcones and polarisers. If a $5 box of parts can do this then why don't all manufactures do it.

Just my opinion though as I am not a materials engineer. I'd be looking at established methods of rust containment first.

Google "electronic rust prevention scam" and have a look at what many people are saying.

Sorry to be a nay sayer.
