While I was actively working in the garage customers never asked if we would try these products (sometimes they asked for JB-weld work, not really related) Perhaps if I saw more GM heavy line I would have been exposed to people wanting you to try these things out, I was never asked by a BMW customer to try these things. I wonder what are the details on the target car/owner for this product.

A one pint bottle of sodium silicate from a local pharmacy for about $20.00 will do the same thing as this stuff does.

Yes, but I suspect that dogboy1995 may be a spammer - so I don’t really thing s/he cares - or would want anyone to know that.
