Best radiator cleaner

Last week I bought that. It was excilance experience

Let me break down what makes this product great...

2 months ago
This product is not a drain cleaner that you pour into a cold pipe and let it sit overnight to dissolve hair. The formula relies entirely on heat and turbulent fluid velocity to scrub away deposits. So expecting this product to do anything of note while just letting it sit in your system, stagnant in the radiator, never circulating the engine block, heater core or water pump. You gotta drive with this stuff in for like 400-480 kms. Dont leave it in there for WEEKS. But the packaging recommends 3-6 hours of driving time. @ 60 km / hr that's 180-360 kms on the bottle. Most mechanics will say 300 miles, which is 480 km. Driving 480 km over a couple weeks means the car heats up to operating temperature and cools completely down a number of times. This constant metal expansion and contraction, combined with the trisodium citrate physically cracks and dislodges the stubborn rust scale etc so it can be drained out. Anybody leaving a review saying this stuff doesnt work who only drove 100 kms with it, or left it sitting stagnant for 24 hours did not know how to use the product properly. And theyre telling on themselves when they admit it. If you have to use this product in the summer, you can mix a couple litres of coolant in there with the distilled water mix so you dont risk overheating if you live in a hotter climate. This product is great value IF you know how to use it. Now you do.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I had calcium build up on the inside of my radiator that I could brush off with a bristle brush and some heavier stuff that I could remove with a screwdriver. Used this but it didn't remove anything. I hoped it would dissolve most of it but no change. Complete waste of time and money.

Q: Will this work with green and dexcool coolant?

7 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: That product doesn't work with any coolant. It can only be used with straight water in the cooling system. It is, however, suitable for use in cooling systems that call for either conventional green or DexCool.

Q: My "peel here for directions" tab didn't work. Instead the back ripped off and I can't see any directions. I looked on their website and they only give directions for the quick ten minute flush version. How do you do the three day deep clean?

7 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: The instructions for the three day deep clean are the same as those for the quick ten minute flush, except you leave the flush compound in the cooling system for 3-6 hours of drive time accumulated over 2-3 days. Please note that this product does not provide any freeze protection and that it should not be left in the vehicle with the engine not running in freezing temperatures.
