Underbody Corrosion Protection

[TheDocAUS]

There are many rust prevention products in the Australian market, aimed at cars used on a beaches or harsh mining environments. I have not used one myself, but here are a few samples:

1. ERPS, how it works here;
2. NILRUST;
3. Endrust (spray on);
4. CAT systems and many more.

That said, the most modern cars have decent rust prevention built in. Such extra protection is probably only warranted in harsh environments.

I am considering 1 and 4 for the INEOS, as my Grenadier will live a hard life traveling Outback Australia.

I ended up buying the CAT Systems 6 pad version, which is on special as part of EOFY sales. About half the price of the EPRS unit. CAT model is easy to self install.

CAT Electronic Rust Protection Systems – 12 month review
It has been almost 12 months since I installed the CAT Electronic Rust Protection Systems into the Grenadier, using 6 pads around the car (over the rear wheel arches, two in the battery box and in both front footwells). This is not a technical report but some field observations.

In that time, I traveled over 20,000km and have taken the car remotely to Outback Queensland, had the car directly exposed to salt air, when staying by the seaside for a few weeks. Plus, plenty of rain. No interference with any of the car's electronics. The CAT system has a minimal power drain on the batteries and it seems to be working. I have almost no rust at all. No rusty wheel studs, almost no rust under the car and no rust anywhere else. For me it seems to be working.
