I'm pretty sure that would be a method to prevent rust (just trying to think back to my lone materials engineering class... didn't pay enough attention, I'm no ME
). But I have no idea whether or not it works with that particular product.

I'm also skeptical which is why I posted the question. There is another product that is sold by JC Whitney that's similar but I can't connect to JC Whitney's to tell you what it's called. Maybe that's what your sister has.

Just trying to figure out a way to make the body last as long as the engine!

Don't some marine vessels use some form of electronic device for anti-corrosion? As for this thing actually working.."As seen on HotRod TV"...ummm......well...

I believe you're thinking of a sacrificial anode. The idea (I'm no chemist) is to electrically bond a metal to your car which is more "attractive" to the free ions (salt) floating about, which cause the corrosion. I think they might work better in liquid than gas environments though, which would explain why they don't get used on cars.

i have on of these on a 96 jeep cherokee that i purchased last summer. its blinks and i think its working? the truck has very little rust.body is excellent only a little surface rust underneath the truck. i remember these on new cars back in the 80's. i'm leaving mine alone and hope it keeps working.

None.
TADC: They do work better in a liquid, that's why they are on ships. They still rust though ...
