Miracle in a bottle

I used to put slick 50 in my ford.

 

Ive heard Motorkote is good.

 

RainX has got me convinced. Seems to make the water bead up and keeps windshield especially cleaner for a bit longer. Any of that "better mpg" is all snake oil. Watch them all come out of the woodwork again when fuel goes up again.

 

I think Air Tabs look hideous, and I don't think they really do anything-other than remove money from your wallet.

 

People I have talked to swear they keep the mirrors cleaner and also .1-.2 gain in mpg. I am still not sold. Fuel is still relatively cheap lol

 

I've tried that Seafoam stuff in my old 360 V8 Dodge. Down the brake booster line and sit for 15 minutes. Went for a rip and it smoked for miles. Could hardly see the tailgate. At first I figured it was literally smoke and mirrors until another guy tried the same thing on a freshly rebuilt 350 Chevy. Hardly a puff of smoke out of it. On a side note I've tried stop leak additives for oil and cooling systems (on old beaters, never anything nice) and most of it isn't worth the bottle they put it in. I tried Lucas power steering stop leak. It may have slowed it down a bit (mainly because my power steering fluid gained about 50 viscosity points) but it was just easier to stick a new rack in it and keep going.

RainX is awesome, I have it on all my vehicles, plus glass shower doors.

 

I had good luck with Flex-Seal. Sprayed in on the fiberglass roof of a straight truck in a light rain and the leak stopped in a couple minutes. That was two years ago and that crack is still sealed. I have used it on a number of different surfaces and it has worked as advertised, as long as the crack isn't too wide to bridge.
