Default STOPS RUST FOREVER. Can this be true?

I am thinking about how to stop the existing rust on my CB7. I came across this link.
Does anyone know if this electric thing works? Check it out.

OK, apparently there are a number of "electronic anti-rust devices" out there and it seems opinion on if it's just snake oil, seem to vary.
But all the websites I saw touting such products seem low-budget and shady and are based in places like South africa, New Zealand...etc. If it works I haven't found US companies selling it.
If anyone can personally vouch for a product like this, please post.

Yeah looks like it. Damn!
Here is some more reading.
Legal action by the FTC against a company making these claims.

Because your too busy to read a few paragraphs of text, I'm supposed to give you a synopsis? What am I, your secretary?

P.S. I'd take that aids quote out of your signature, it's in bad taste.

"...using a variable electrostatic field that enriches the electron content and reduces ion mobility in all the ferrous metal parts of your vehicle."
This is very interesting since the entire car is already carrying an "electron field" hence the term "chassis ground".
If you want to stop rust try POR-15.

Did I say I was too busy? I have bad eye sight and when I read that much ****, in such tiny letters, my head starts to hurt.

Hey 92lude,
All you gotta do is cut and paste the text from the browser into another document and increase the font size so you can read it comfortably.
