If it produces the right5 sort of electrolytic conditions, it might
possibly actually work, to some degree at least. Electrochemists
please respond?

However I would expect this particular item to be complete BS. Proof
is needed that it works. This won't stop people buying it, however.
Look at all the fools who keep the "penis-enlargement" industry going.

I DO know that steel can be treated so that it won't rust, even when
cut or scratched. This treatment is supposedly a New Zealand invention
(yeah, probably a BS claim, as so many Kiwi claims are). It uis used
on ColorSteel roofing/cladding. It DOES work. So why can't the car
manufacturers, if they refuse to build cars out of stainless or
galvanize them, use this process? All it would take is a total dunking
in a vat under near-vacuum conditions to completely rustproof a steel
car body, seams, sealed sections and all. No more worries about
seam-rust developing after a body-stressing accident, either.
