I've not used it but they do rave about it overseas.
It works by reducing the surface tension of the water, I think.
Gotta be better than using ethylene glycol, just to stop rust- most of us on the mainland don't need antifreeze properties.

Hi, Just wondering if any one has tried out the above product. l have just got my radiator cleaned out and was wondering if this product is any good. It is supposed to be better than coolant which l presently use. Apparently street drag cars use this product Cheers chasg |

Except those like me who are silly enough to go to Wakefield in mid winter. Apologies to those who live there. |

havn't used it but have heard very good things about it one of the guys at the local performace shops apparently ran it in his race care and had to drain some out and mix it with water cause it was keeping it too cool so it wasn't warming up enough for him |

If you can get it buy it, awesome stuff. I got some from a performance place in Brissy for my last car and it made a big difference. |

Not impressed with water wetter. I just got home from work after running water wetter and water in the radiator. Temps were much higher than before when using coolant and water.Temp was running between 200 and 215. When l got home and switched off, the motor ran on. Felt hoses definitly running hotter.Will go back to using coolant and water |
