DO u rekon using a sacrificial anode would stop rust on a baja?

they use em on big ship tankers and all, learnt about em in chemistry in oxidisation and reduction reactions.

Think it would stop further rust on a baja? especially when splashing in a bit of salt?

I haven't gone into them much, but I believe they would only work on fairly New Cars....

Maybe up to 5-6 years old...

I don't think they would do much on a 30+ year old car..

Just My Opinion...

Correct, you need an electrolyte to complete the circuit.

If it was an effective and economically viable method of corrosion protection, everybody would do it. Put your time, effort and money into keeping the water out and protecting the metal with paint.
