Good day MKX people,  After reading enigma-2 s' post of 10/14 stating that he had a corrosion protection module installed on his new automobile I was wondering if anyone else had ever heard of such a thing, because if it works I want one !  Out here over the last four or five years ( this year was better ) the county and state highway departments were laying down magnesium cholride and then went to a salt brine literally apparently half the cost, making the road wet but the corrosion factor is horrid. Can this device actually prevent rust ?  Anyway any and all thoughts would be appreciated. Be well, do good work and enjoy the ride ! Nazdrowie,  Jimmy Z

_{Prior to buying my 09 MKX, I hadn't heard of it either. While I was on the sales lot, I called a mechanic buddy of mine & he told me that the one the dealer was selling seems to work, but should beware of cheaper ones, they are designed for boats which are constantly wet by water and don't work for cars).}

 

_{I had literally crawled under the car at the dealership and checked everything I could see. Engine compartment, etc. Not one speck of rust even though the car had always been registered in salt states. (Locally they use the slurry and that's what killed my last car). The previous owner liked this little gizmo so much, he had the dealer remove it and install it on on the new MKX he just bought.}

 

_{Their not cheap but I decided to spring for the bucks and try it. I had spent so much on repairing my last car that it would pale in comparison as to the cost.}

 

_{So does it work? Don't know. See no rust at all on any of the sheet metal, on my 09, so I'm saying yes. (The driveshat is covered with rust, thinking of spraying it with that spray that converts rust-to-primer, this summer.}

 

_{Anyway. the module is patented, comes with a written warranty and uses radio waves to generate a field on the metal of the car (not just a voltage change).}

 

_{It protects only galvanized sheet metal parts, not unprotected steel or iron. Has something to do with causing the galvanize to reform over the ding faster that the steel can start oxidizing. Zinc is supposed to cold-flow over wound and reseal ding, but can't do it fast enough in auto use due to conditions (the module speeds up the cold-flow, according to the patent).}

 

_{My dealer had literature, have a copy around here somewhere, try asking your local Ford/Lincoln dealer for some literature}

 

_{That new brine mix works wonders to clear a road, but is a real killer on cars.}
