My idea is that I fix any existing rust like I've been doing, then
the device (if I can make one that seems to work in my tests) helps
resist new rust spots appearing in completely different areas.
Hopefully the repaired areas too.

Indeed that's why I intend to test it first away from a car like I
said before in my reply to Ozix. Inspired heavily by the tests the
Canadians did, but without the salt spray. Similar to this, but
without the humidity-controlled chamber so it might take many
months just being left outside (avoiding bird poo might be a
problem):

That'll also allow testing different signals and voltages.

Mind you, I won't be able to use automotive sheet metal and paint
like in their tests. Testing on individual car body panels like
undamaged doors removed from the same old car might be better,
but I don't know where I'd get those cheap locally. The idea is to
scratch them and then watch for rust developing in the scratch.
