[TheForge] Interesting rust prevention product seen on car show

I watching a car show on TV and they were discussing different products.
They had this guy from www.machinistmate.com talking about his products.
The one that caught my eye was called Rust Freeze. It's $50 for 2 oz bottle.
I copied this from the website:

Will cover 30 to 40 square feet depending on level of corrosion. 
Machinists Mate Rust Freeze has been field tested under the harshest of
conditions and after more than a year of constant spray abuse in a highly
corrosive environment with a PH of 1.5, Machinist Mate Rust Inhibitor was
still protecting with no signs of failure or corrosion!

(Two four ounce bottles $150)

Rust Freeze -Goes Where No Other Rust Inhibitor Has Gone Before!

2 tablespoons will coat 4 square feet of clean steel or aluminum!

Rust Freeze is different from any other rust inhibitor because it can reach
places that no other rust inhibitor can. Rust Freeze has the consistency of
water and it loves corrosion! Because Rust Freeze is so thin it will seep
into small places such as folded seams on sheet metal, overlaps that are
spot welded, areas behind braces and inside tunnels and tubes. In fact Rust
Freeze loves rust and corrosion so much it will "creep" its way through
corrosion seeking it out sometimes traveling several inches into the
corrosion on its own. 
 

Rust Freeze penetrates deep into the metal. On bare metal or heavily
corroded aluminum or steel Rust Freeze will encapsulate the corrosion and
then penetrate up to 2 mill into the base metal matrix, locking out air and
preventing corrosion

Rust Freeze provides unparalleled corrosion protection on clean bare metal
or corroded surfaces equally well! Even heavily corroded surfaces are
protected simply by applying Machinists Mate Rust Freeze directly over the
rusted/corroded surface, no need to grind the rust off! Rust Freeze will
penetrate deep, encasing the corrosion all the way to the base metal surface
sealing the entire surface and penetrate up to 2 mils into the grain of the
base metal.

Rust Freeze is a binary (two part) system. When Part A and B are mixed
together Rust Freeze has the consistency water. Rust Freeze is easy to
apply, simply brush, roll, wipe, dip or spray on.

Rust Freeze prevents corrosion by preventing the metal from coming in
contact with air or other corrosive elements. 

A small amount of Machinist Mate Rust freeze will go a very long way.
Coverage is up to 2000 square feet per gallon of Rust Freeze! 8 ounces will
cover up to 125 square feet of clean smooth non rusted steel!

It looked impressive to me. What do you guys think? I have no connection to
this company, just curious if this sounds legit. Some of their other stuff
looked interesting, particularly their atomic glue.
