G'day,
Anyone have any real world experience with these electromagnetic rust inhibitors? I've read a bunch of material that says they are bogus, and I've read some studies that conclusively prove they work. Anecdotal information seems to support both sides. I take ownership of a new Mazda 3 GT on Monday, and opted to take the rust inhibitor package for $2k. Brand name is Final Coat.
Now before you crucify me for spending $2k on a rust inhibitor - here is what I really bought:
- Rust inhibitor with 10 year perforation warranty
- Paint protection with chip warranty
- Leather protection with tear warranty
- Tire & rim protection warranty
- AND - Free oil changes for the life of the vehicle
To me the value is in the free oil changes and the rest of the package is free. So I guess you could say I bought an oil change package and got a complimentary rust inhibitor. I'm a high mileage driver and will do about 8 oil changes a year. Doesn't take long to know off the $2k.
I am seriously interested in people's opinions on the rust inhibitor though.
Sean.
