Now, once the consumer has decided to get the job done, they are faced with another decision to make: Which type of treatment is best for me? There are in fact two real types of treatments: The first is an annual oil treatment where holes are drilled into the body to permit a complete application. These treatments will work best only if it is repeated every year. The same goes for the warranty. The prices are usually between $60 and $110. The second option is a grease-based treatment that offers excellent protection and best of all, most do not need touch-ups before 3 years have elapsed from the original application.
There are many so-called "miracle" therapies available such as those using electronic or electric devices. I have heard and seen some of these treatments and as far as I can tell, all of them require specific circumstances for them to work, if they do at all. For example, there are devices that provide something called Cathodic protection. This system basically generates a field of electricity around an item and prevents rust from forming on it. It actually works; the catch is that the vehicle would have to be submerged in water for the current to flow and for the protection to occur. This is why this type of defence is ideal for boats and bridges.
For recommendations as to where people should go, you may contact the Automobile Protection Association as they have specific tried, tested and true recommendations. You can contact them by visiting their website at (www.apa.ca) or by calling them at 514-272-5555.
