I used the Eastwood kit last month. I am very happy with the results, but
it was a pain in the a$$ and resulted in a 5 gallon bucket of toxic waste.
Luckily, I work at a chemical plant and had somewhere to dispose of it. My
local radiator shop is also unreasonable, so I'm going to use the kit again
this winter on my Sprite - by that time I should have forgotten what a pain
it was.
