 :o Just a tip.
I find that if you do the research first... before you buy, you can save money! ;D ;D ;D

Never used it, but I do use windscreen wash in the car... love the smell ::)
Also if it's anything like AL39 which we used in the army... once again lovely smell ;D ;D ;D

Another tip... don't smell to much of it, you may get high!  :o

Not rubbish in the right proportions

Some on here seem to think it works like Homoeopathy - i.e. a minute amount of the stuff will do the antifreeze job way out of proportion to it's ratio. Doesn't make sense to me that 500ml in 500L (1 in 1000) could possibly work, but then I'm not into witch-doctoring!

Now, 25L in 500L 5% might give you a little protection but at what cost?
