IS THERE ANYTHING IN THE AUTO MARKET THAT CAN STOP RUST FROM FORMING?; I'VE HEARD OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES THAT ARE CAPABLE OF STOPPING RUST FROM STARTING. DOES ANYBODY OUT THERE KNOW IF SUCH DEVICES REALLY WORK?!

I purchased a product called POR-15, which you can search either www.yahoo.com, or www.altavista.com to find the many sites available. Currently the manufactuer supplies MANY products that seem to work well for rust prevention and/or resoration.

I have not tried it as of yet, but am anxious to do so.

Check back issues of the car restoration magazine Skinned Knuckles for a long series of articles on rust-preventice and rust-converter chamicals. Years ago, M-B fans extolled virtues of a marine convertter called Corroseal. Dropped out of M-B awareness, but the stuff is still manufactured in the northwest for the ship trade. I am told it is chemically similar to the stuff called Extend, available in local auto stores. Further, I hear that current recommendations are POR-15 and Rusttoleum rusty metal primer. Good luck.
