I've bought two bottles from Rocky - Rocky Entriken <rocky@tri.net>.
Fellow autocrosser, easy as sending an email, it shows up.
IME, it is really pretty good, well worth the cost, *especially*
for slicks. I'd used it on DOT radials - Hoosiers - it seemed
to help a fair bit, let me run the tires longer without
feeling like the tires were a significant issue. New were still
faster.
Slicks, however, the stuff is astounding. We ran a set of used
Hoosiers earlier this season, they worked OK the first day out,
and on the second day, well, they simply did NOT work.
Like something was broken not-working. Huh. Alignment? Pressure?
All was OK.
Uhhh, huh? Why? Talked to some people, many of whom said
slicks go _off_. They do, in my limited experience - a Hoosier
radial, IME, will go "off," but the car still works. IE, it
turns. Slower, but it is still fun to drive. The slicks?
Nothing. Drove straight offcourse twice before I figured out
the fronts had NOTHING left.
Got some FV, followed the instructions, next weekend, they were
back. Maybe not like new, and we switched to Goodyears, but the
difference was astonishing. The tires went from literally
unusable to fun.
.02, nothing at stake.
