I assure you it is not... I saw it on his car under the hood and asked him about it.. He wasnt able to really explain the science behind how it produces some sort of charge/ionization that reduces the amount of rust... but im not sure if its something that actually works or not.LinkNuc wrote:I hope that CounterAct is a joke...I'm sure it is.

OMG, please do not fall for this snake oil...it does not and cannot work for auto appliations well unless your car doubles as boat and then it will only work in the water hopefully saltwater)It is a scam and was ousted on the Titan forums amongst others.

The FTC fined an Altoona company 200K for this crap.

Trying to find the engineering tests with all the picture goodies...it is total BS!
This isn't the one but its pretty good http://www.krown.com/faqs/TEST...E.pdf

Re: (LinkNuc)
meh it's already installed, and give better resell value to a car and I never need to even touch it so snake oil or not I could careless as I never see it.
here's their site:http://www.counteractrust.com/counteract.htm
I've been using it for two years now (two canadian winters lol) and so far so good.
anyhow
yeah I couldn't explain it because I don't know how to in english lol.LongBeachCoupe wrote:I assure you it is not... I saw it on his car under the hood and asked him about it..

As long as you didn;t have to pay for it. Counteract is a Pennsylvania Scam compnay, just about 80 miles north east of me, another low quality fact is that they give a zipcode of 15255, that is downtown Pittsburgh, not Sligo, PA, but I think it was an honest mistake as the zip is 16255.
Its all Cathode Rust Protection which is great fopr boats and bridges but does absolutely nothing for automobiles. Here's why it doesn';t work and I anm an Engineer albeit not corrosion engineer but i'm no dummy...
Cathode Rust Protection which is the real name of the technique these profiteers are trying to sell you, has been used with success to protect against corrosion on many structures and systems including sea going ships, buried pipelines, and even reinforced concrete. However, there is an area where the technique has no chance to work ... the protection of cars. Human nature being what it is, many entrepreneurs have tried to use the visible successes of CP to make money by offering car owners devices to achieve such protection. They typically offer these snake oil devices at a price that could be reasonable if it did indeed work. In reality, the gizmos they offer are a lost in the suckers pocket and a gain in the entrepreneur crooks bank account. And watch out, they will disguise the same old gadgets with new patents and glitzy technical names, even throwing in a microprocessor!!
The science: One has to understand the principle of CP to understand that the technique works by forcing a protective flow of electrons to the metal that needs protection. For this process to work, you need a complete electrical circuit to bring the electrons back. In the case of an outboard motor on a boat, the sea water completes the circuit. In the case of a bridge, the wet soil completes the circuit.
But in your car, the only way to complete the circuit on all the metal in your car is to drive into seawater or be buried in soil! There are various products on the market claiming to provide cathodic electrochemical protection to your car, just by injecting electrons into your metal work - but they don't work. Countries like Canada and the U.S.A. have actually got court orders to stop these products from being sold - simply because they don't work. In your car, there are lots of little nooks and crannies where dirt and/or water can collect. The rust happens not where the metal is dry, nor where the metal is wet - but at the interface between the wet and dry metal. So if you screwed a bunch of anodes right on the interface or one or two millimeters thereof, you would protect your car. But you would need thousands of these anodes over your car.

Re: (08Coupe)
Yeah, I know I used to live in NE Ohio and got feet upon feet of lake effect snow and salt and ash, abnd slush...guess what no rust...and no bs cathode rust protection...
You being from WI don't have the greatest of winters either and I'm sure your car is just fine...we should ask Ferguson what he thinks of the nonsense.
