Hmmmm...
I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

Had it put on the new 70
Had it put on the new 70 series and would put it on any new car, it does work.
Mate up coral bay has had one for a few years and no rust and if you have seen some of the cars up there you would know what I mean.

I've used them on several cars and they work. They don't fully stop rust happening but they definately slow it down.
If I was buying a new car I wouldn't hesitate to put one on. Just don't buy it from a car dealer as they are twice as exspensive as buying them online.

Water
They work well under water but don't stop rust in vehicles like the ads say.
I've fitted 3 to different 4x4s I've owned and all finished up with rust holes after a couple of years, the latest being the Patrol wagon I'm about to cut the rust out of the rocker panels and chassis shortly

They help stop corrosion due
They help stop corrosion due to disrupting / controlling the amount of electrical current flowing through a liquid ( electrolysis ). Highly recommend washing your vehicle and trailer with freshwater once out of saltwater to help prevent corrosion, a spray of crc works wonders aswell

The systems work, but they
The systems work, but they are not a replacement for washing the salt water of your car, salt water will rust any car out if not washed.
