Thinking a bit more - no, I'm not going to call their bluff. If he can't be arsed to provide, in response to a reasonable question, some scientific evidence, then I'm not gambling with my expensive motor. Getting my money back on the product doesn't come into it.

Stuff him and his product.

If it is a miracle cure why not sell the formula to the major oil manufactures for millions instead of 20 quid a bottle? The oil manufactures produce it by the barrel load and the price comes down. There's not much on their site about testing either.

If the majors wanted to use it, they would. And they don't need to get it from Activ8 either: chlorinated paraffin (the active ingredient) was being used as a cheap EP additive 60 years ago, there's no secret about it and it's not patented. The reason they don't use it (aside from the bio-accumulative problem) is that it's hard to prevent the stuff causing corrosion.

Does that mean that every person that sells a product needs a degree, diploma or teachers qualification to reply ?  :lol :lol

Nope, but if you're serious about selling, you need to look professional. He doesn't. He looks shoddy, like he just rushed something off.

And what is there to make me believe he's any more professional about product development - which needs much more care than simply using a spell & grammar checker.

[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]And a nice quote,,,,[/color][color=rgb(51, 51, 51)][/size]

The goal of critical thinking is to arrive at the most reasonable beliefs and take the most reasonable actions. We have evolved, however, not to seek the truth, but to survive and reproduce. Critical thinking is an unnatural act. By nature, we're driven to confirm and defend our current beliefs, even to the point of irrationality. We are prone to reject evidence that conflicts with our beliefs and to attack those who offer such evidence.

I did say earlier that Slick50 is not like Activ8, 'cos Activ8 doesn't have PTFE in it which may cause clutch slip!



"....It works with all commercially available lubricants and contains no solids such as PTFE (Teflon), molybdenum, copper, lead, etc...."

Firstly, the "One Armed Bandit" is obviously a standard bit of test equipment in the oil industry.


Secondly, in the Activ8 demo the wheel didn't stop moving at all, and neither did it overheat.  Confusedmokin
Little bit different to shampoo don't you think?

You mean apart from the huge fact that the wheel didn't stop at all even though the bar was being bent something silly?
C'mon now, that has to mean something?
