Does electronic rust proofing -- such as Counteract -- work to protect your car from rust?

Electronic rust proofing works, by the fact that iron(steel) ionises to Fe^3+ (The Iron(III) ion). So if you have a substance that ionises more readily than iron, it will 'flood' the system with electrons, so that iron cannot lose electrons as there are too many already in the system. Since iron cannot lose electrons it does NOT oxidise (rust). NB: Ships have Gauss Blocks applied to them in a Graving(Dry) Dock. The Gaus Blocks are made of magnesium, which ionises more readily than Iron(steel). Hence a ships underwater hull is protected from rusting.
