ah, rust and a boot, i love it, i had that with my vl, thought to my self, hmmm,i ll just slap about some kill rust. it did nothing, only way to get rid of rust, is cut it out. ill run this past ya, you ready, intro to electicity 101
rust, a common fault with electrical instalations. what causes rust, well, when voltage moves, it moves from + to - it's as simple as that. but the flow of electrons go in the other way, - to + hense it takes some of the little metal moliculse with it. you cant stop rust, it's imposible to stop rust, all you can do to slow down rust is to rust proof your car, all that is about is spraying any exposed metal part's of your car and keeping water off, here is a little experiment for you all to try, it's kinda cool,
get 2 peices of metal, any type will do, has to be a metal, not solder or alloy of any sort, , get a 12 volt battery, 10 litres of water, and a cup of salt. right
place 2 peices of metal away from each other, they cant touch. put salt in water and put the metal in that,using cable connect 1 peice of metal to the + and one to the -, wait for 10 min's or so and youwill notice that bubbles will start forming. go away and come back in 2 or 3 hour's, and youwill see, you have got rust on the one connected to the -, if you can come up with a solution to the rust problem well, good on ya, and let me know, im trying to figure it out myself to stop car's from rusting.
there is actually more to it than that, but that's just the idiot's guide to rust, understand that, and you understand rust
