    I've been using Redline Water Wetter in my coolant system for quite some time, but I recently found a new product called DEI Radiator Relief. Does anyone know anything about this product. It promises similar claims to Redline's product, up to 30 degrees cooler running temp. and an additional 50% faster heat-up on startup.

    The product seems more expensive than Water Wetter, but then again, it also comes in a larger size.

    Anyone ever use it or hear anything about it?

    I live in Winston Cup country, Charlotte, NC.
    Watter wetter and I suppose this DEI are surfactants, which are the key ingredients in Soaps and detergents. They are molecules that attract various particles to them and hold them in suspension. A friend of mine many years back told me that the WC teams all put...brace yourselves....WOOLITE in the radiator, it is a surfactant that pulls heat out of the metal surfaces and holds them in suspension, in this case, the coolant. It also reduces "static cling" and smells fresh. I put about 2 oz in all my cars cooling systems, I have for years.

    What is decieving is that water wetter does not reduce the coolant Gauge temperature, it does reduce the surface temperature of the metal within the system by drawing more HEAT OUT OF THE METAL and INTO the coolant.

    Who said all roundy-rounders are dumb??

    So. . . Woolite has decreased your temp. gauge noticeably? [img]smile.gif[/img]

    I didn't notice any cooling difference after adding Water Wetter and changing to a 30/70 coolant mix. But then again, I have a stock gauge. Must've helped atleast a little. . .
