Similar questions to these were posted to rec.autos several months ago.  I do
not see how electrolytic protection (cathodic protection) is applicable to
automobiles as they are not generally in a conductive or electrolytic
environment.  The common use for cathodic protection is in ships or underground
piping where the material to be protected is surrounded by water or moist soil
which is electrically conductive.

In any event, the following references should help George any anyone else
interested in this form of corrosion protection.

"Fundamentals of Cathodic Protection", "Corrosion Cathodic Protection and
Common Sense", and "Cathodic Protection - One Way to Prevent Underground
Corrosion".   

These three papers were written by B. Husock of Harco Corporation, Cathodic
Protection Division, 1055 West Smith Road, Medina, Ohio  44256.  Harco can
provide copies of these papers for a small fee.  These references are somewhat
dated and I do not know if Harco is still in business.  If you cannot locate
them any other way, I can provide a copy.
