Electronic Rustproofing/Anti-Corrosion device [MERGED]

[raquino]

thanks, i scanned the previous post but am not sure if dallas auto service in morato is still open. do you have any idea kung bukas pa dallas? i'm from the province kasi so i seldom go to qc unless may lalakarin. i would like to get the names of the stores where it is available so hindi masayang biyahe ko. thanks again and i hope someone else can help me find such stores.

hi all!

i saw this product sa Ace Hardware not so long ago; it's supposed to convert iron oxide into iron phosphate, on which you can paint on.

ok ba to or panloloko lang?

[ian_rex]

no sir, ok itong rust converter na ito. turco ang brand. mas maganda gamitin ito sa mga bakal na masyado nang makapal ang kalawan na kahit kaskasin e ayaw pa rin. yes pwede mo nga syan pinturahan.

[rsnald]

not advisable to use on heavily rusted metal. dun sa mga light rust lang. kaskasin mo muna yung light rust with sandpaper or wire brush, then apply the "rust converter". what it basically does is to form a protective iron phosphate film on top of the un-affected iron or metal part w/c supposedly will prevent further oxidation or corrosion of the metal. Kung heavily rusted na, one of two things can happen, either mag slow down lang further corrosion, or bibilis lalo yung pangangalawang since this turco rust converter is basically just diluted phosphoric acid with some wetting agents (maybe not sure :D ).

ok yang rust converter. btw d yan permanent solution sa rust..

[puroy]

saw that product also at ace hardware. 300 ata price. and yep, di is not a permanent solution but to slow the build-up of rust once applied.

[ian_rex]

aba ang mahal pala. meron din yan sa mga suking hardware & construction supply. turco ang pangalan. nasa amber na glass bottle.

Sirs and gurus. Have u ever heard rust-o-mizer an electronic device that prevents rust. Effective ba ito.? Has anyone tried this device first hand. Could you share any comments on this device. balak ko kasing magpa install. Is it worth it ba?

thanks.

thanks.

I had it many many years ago. Generally the technology works BUT not worth the money especially with the newer cars where the car was already treated to prevent rust.

Sir ghosthunter. I have an eight year old van, there are some rust na. would you think mawawala or di na kakalat pag nagpainstall ako ng device.


thanks in advance

no, it will not cure your van of the rust already on the body. It "might" slow down the rusting process but not stop it. Also the electronic rust-o-mizer requires ALL the body panels to be electrically connected together. If a certain body panel is not electrically in contact with the rest, it will not be protected.

Yep, once the rust get into the iron(specially black iron) you can never cure it!!! unless you scratch it and paint it with an anti-rust or a primer!
one thing for sure my cousin had his 01 corolla scraped, painted, rust proofed!!! then we heared about thi "rust o mizer" thing. So we got it installed,then for a year and a half the upper portion,fenders front and rear develops rust!!! (partida alaga pa sa underwash and di pumupunta ng navotas) So one thing for sure this thing doesn't really protect your car!!!

I had a thread on this thing. Aside from rust-o-mizer, there was the original one: "Rust Evader" from the US... then there's the "rust defender", and the local versions "Rust Invader", and the "Rustpoof your car with just 1 (or 2) wires systems"...

Rust Evader in the US got sued. Apparently, the technology doesnt work for cars. It does for boats and underground pipes, but not cars.

I still recall the rust evader booth in the transshow so many years ago: The display unit of Rust Evader showed 2 pieces of metal submerged in salt water. The metal connected to the device had almost no rust while the one which wasnt connected was fully corroded.

A scientist who did studies on the system concluded that itl work if the metal is always underwater (such as the ones in the display model), but since cars arent always under water, it doesnt work. Look up "Rust Evader" in google to find out more regarding this.

Anyway, all other electronic devices which came out after look like rust evader immitations/rip-offs. Their principles are the same, and often sound like they were copied directly from the rust evader literature.

My friend's tita installed one of the local versions on her liteace. When nabangga yung car, rust immediately formed on the bumped part. It made me lose faith in the technology.

For this reason, Rust Evader had to transfer their market outside the US.

Meron ba nabebenta dito sa pinas and saan?

Doon sa Question and Answer portion eh totoo ba talaga hindi nakaka-apekto ito sa electrical system and computer ng kotse?

Kasi parang ok ito tapos may undercoat pa.....

Had a Rust Evader installed before on my 1989 Toyota Corolla GL and found it very effective. Sold the unit in 2000 and it was still rust free (or at least no visible rust even in wheelwells. I had scratched the rear door while parking and didn't bother to have it repainted. It never rusted even until I sold it, so roughly 3 years. I would say from personal experience that it was effective.

Sadly though, don't know where the original supplier went... would want one for my car again. They used to have an office at the "hotel" behind U.P. Diliman.

Anyone knows where he moved to?
