Just had a look at the  w www.xado.co.uk w  mentioned by kerian.  Really does look like snake oil and too good to be true. But if it was a product that works then it does sound pretty good. Some of the science doesnt seem quite right to me, but that could just be the poor language of the author ie not a scientist.

What do you think?

Sounds a bit suspect to me. I remember "cure all" products over the years. There were even supposed to be some tablets you dropped in the oil and they were supposed to fix just about everything, but of course never did.
If Kieron has made his car driveable again, then that's great, but fixing the damaged parts of an engine is the only way I would take other than a "get me home " solution.

If it really does what it says it does - Fills worn pits etc with ceramic metal stuff by means of heat - How does it know where to put it?

I would think that if it really did that, anywhere that friction occurred would get filled with the stuff, bearings etc would all get a build-up of the 'treatment'.
Doesn't sound very convincing to me....

Mmm as a industrial chemist in the polymer field I tend to head towards the definition of "Snake Oil". It would be interesting to see if these claims have ever been tested scientifically by independent accredited testing or in the courts!

Seemingly there are pills which will grow your penis as well, perhaps from the same company?

Yeah I'm an physcist and I was erring towards the same thoughts.

I used to drive a Ford Explorer - 4litre, V6 which was great untill the head gasket went.  I was quoted 3k to fix - pull the engine out, heads off and checked, new gaskets and refitted.  Five quid for a bottle of K-Seal snake oil and it ran perfectly for years after.  Magic liquid found the hole in the gasket and sealed it!  Don't know how, it just worked.  I wonder if this stuff works the same?

Might be tempted to try it in my 25year old Range Rover first - it needs all the help it can get  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
