Careful Fourplay26 don't speak to soon, as the article says a number of other brands are under investigation.

My last two two cars, both 13 years old, had no rust.  No ERPS either.  Yep, it is interesting  ;)

Sold my FJ62 when she was 20years old and over 400 on the clock, no rust at all and no ERPS.

A few people are saying after "x many years no rust".

A couple things also needed to be added to those statements. Do you live near the coast, is the vehicle garaged, driven on the beach and more important driven through salt water and how have you maintained the cars body work?

I've had my Subaru 10 years from new, It's had no rust proofing, I live on the coast, probably only garaged 20% of the time, probably washed it 3 times a year max and no rust. But I have never driven it on the beach or through salt water.

But in saying that. Prevention is better than the cure!

For the D-Max it's Penetrol in the nooks and crannies under the car. I haven't done inside the doors as yet or engine bay but will probably use Inox in those areas.

I wash and polish the ute about once a month.

If I go onto the beach then it's a good hosing after. I haven't driven it through salt water... no doubt that will probably happen at some stage but it won't be a habit.

My 2 cents.

after having 2 12 year old hiluxs, one with erps and one without, I'm sold on the product. got it on my new car as beach work is on my agenda and in this circumstance i consider it a must on a $50k vehicle.

In regards to rust proofing i was going to spray/brush on some of that black Septone bitumen stuff, up under the wheel arches to stop the rocks and stones from doing any damage,
Anyone used this stuff or done it !!






Cheers

Not yet on the MUX but planing on doing the arches too. Did the arches in my FJ62 and the complete underside of my camper trailer. Product is easy to use and sticks to anything.

https://www.finance.nsw.gov.au/about-us/media-releases/no-rust-bust-warning-re-car-rust-reduction-devices

"NSW Fair Trading Commissioner Rod Stowe is warning NSW consumers not to waste their money buying computerised electronic corrosion inhibitors (CECI devices) for motor vehicles after investigations by Western Australia Consumer Protection revealed the devices don’t work."

Edit... couple weeks too late.

And as dave said: I told you so..lol

Electronic Rust Prevention

Looking at fitting an ERPS to the new D-Max when it arrives.  Has anybody had experience with these systems.  I have read good reports about them but as always I am more than a little bit cynical when it comes to advertising.

Look around yourself at all the vehicle which don't have ERPS fitted. Are they OK. Many very old Isuzu Rodeo's are still good.
A great way to eliminate $$$$ from your wallet. Those rusty looking $notes will disappear.
