I don't enjoy wattering down another person's enthusiasm (much), and I do
realize this could start a flame war, but just as a point of comparison, ....
I have been using a 50/50 mix of ethelyne-glycol (standard "permanemt"
antifreeze) and water in all of my cars for decades, many hundreds of
thousands of miles, with no other additives of any kind, and a flush and
change of fresh coolant every 3 to 5 years. I too have "never seen any
rust or scale in any radiator on any car I own", and am very happy with the
results. I have no idea how to evaluate any product that may or may not
make any improvement over perfection (or at least adequacy), so why waste
the money. I would however subscribe to using a corrosion inhibitor in
plain water if you didn't have to worry about sub-freezing weather conditions.
