Junk.

Snake oil.

Another friction reducer like the old Teflon/Slick50 products.

Waste of money.

Garbage.

Not of any use, rotary or otherwise.

Less than honest.

Crap.

Not 'fit for purpose'.

PPOJ (Plainly a Piece Of Junk)

Waste of electrons even criticizing it.

....otherwise, a fine product.

i remember seeing infomercials on it, iirc it was sponsored by Caroll Shelby..or mybe it was that other crap z-max or slick 50 or one of those other money wasting "enhancers"

The only "enhancement" worth doing to any car is a regular oil change and IMO seafoam. That is th eonly product would ever put my name and repuiation on, i and others have seen results time and time again.

Gee... Wiz... can't be any more straight forward than that.

They do make Prolong Waterless Wash & Shine which is good.

Thumbs down

A saturday morning 'as seen on tv' infomercial invention that does nothing. But if you buy it, you get a free magnet to attach to your fuel line to realign the molecules for better gas milage. And a vortex generator for your intake hose.

(for the record, I'm an organic chemist and that prolong crap is....well....crap. just use oil. should work.)
