Rust on the back pannel, between the boot and the bumper.
this is getting done under warranty, but it is not the first CSL with this,
you should have a good look at your car.

have you thought about capacitive coupling? rust will happen on any car where the protective paint layer in broken. Or is this coming through from underneath with no apparent paint damage?
I put capacitice coupling devices on all my cars I want to keep looking new. And paint in every blemish I can find.
So much for galvanised body shells!

look for mugapulse on the internet and you find. I had my csl on the ramps today and was having a good look around. All the rusty bolts and and exhaust clamps and such have gone from being orange and actively rusting to just dirty black and the brake pipes have stopped furring since I last looked months ago. A stone chip inside the arch that had been there for god knows how long was through to the steel but was black and hadn't feathered. It only works on parts which are directly connected to the shell or vehicle earth so unfortunately doesn't help on brake disks and bushed suspension parts etc, but it defo work everywhere else. I've got nothing to do with them by the way I'm just a car nut that hates rust and likes to keep cars forever.

yes......and.......easy but time consuming to do a neat job as a wire needs to go front to back inside the car.

seems to good tobe true
cant see how it can work as a car already uses the body as a negative conductor !!
