Benefits of Electronic Rust Protection / Rust Proofing
- Higher resale value. A properly cared
for car with no rust will achieve a far higher resale
or lease-end value
than a well-cared for car that exhibits signs of rust.
- A cleaner car. Air-borne dust will
no longer be attracted to your car.
- Eliminate static shocks from your
car. Suffer no more pain during dry weather.
- A better looking car. Rust is unsightly.
- A safer car. Structural components
can fail due to excessive rusting.
- Keep your car longer. A car with
rust will not last as long as a rust-free car.
- Not even scratches will rust!
Eliminate Static Shocks
In 95% of cases, static shock is completely eliminated.
In those rare cases where it is not completely eliminated,
it is reduced to be barely noticable.
How Rust Protection Works
Rust is the result of the corrosion of iron and steel.
Iron is produced from iron ore. Iron is created by heating
iron ore, and steel is produced by combining iron ore,
carbon and other selected metal alloys. Iron has a tendency
to return to its natural form of iron oxide or rust.
To understand how rust is created, consider the chemical
reaction in a battery:
A carbon rod (called the cathode) is surrounded by a
zinc case called the anode. When a wire is connected
to the outside of the battery through the two terminals,
current flows between two metals through an electrolyte
(electricity conducting paste). Not only does current
flow from the zinc case to the carbon pole, but particles
of zinc are eaten away (corroded) and deposited on the
carbon pole, through molecular movement. A similar occurrence
happens on your car's metal surfaces. Miniature "batteries"
are formed all over by:
- Two different metals near or touching
one another (Eg. seam welds).
- Impurities within the metal causing
localized areas of differing electrical potentials
all over its surface.
- Different concentrations of oxygen
in metal, causing localized areas of differing electrical
potentials across the surface. In order for these
"batteries" to operate they must have an
electrolyte. Water is a suitable electrolyte - even
humid air will work. If the moisture contains acids
(usually from air pollution or salt from the ocean
or road) the electrolyte conducts electricity very
efficiently, speeding the corrosion process. An automobile
is exposed to these conditions through:
- Humid or Salt Laden Air
- Rain and snow.
- Condensation.
- Pockets of dirt that hold moisture
from the rain or snow.
Rust-Gard uses a microprocessor controlled
circuit to generate a negative electrical charge to
your car's grounded body panels which in turn inhibits
the forming of rust. Unlike conventional rust-proofing
that is sprayed onto the underbody of your car, Rust-Gard
protects all continuous metal panels throughout the
car. Rust-Gard is particularly effective in reducing
rust and corrosion formed when the underbody of your
car receives nicks and cuts to the vehicle manufacturers
own body sealant, during the course of its normal life.
Cars today has approximately 3,000 welds. Welds and
their immediate vicinity are the areas most vulnerable
- and are the areas hardest to protect with conventional
rust-proofing treatments. Rust-Gard is the only practical
method to protect all the continuous metal throughout
your car, including the inner cavities.Through innovative
design, Rust-Gard works especially well in humid and
harsh environments - the times when your automobile
will need it most. Rust-Gard has been manufactured to
reduce rust and corrosion from both the outside and
inside of your car.
