I'm a retired Chevroid, so can not provide an unbiased answer to your
question.  However, you might enjoy reading SAE Paper 982712, "A Survey o=

Coral-Slick 50.  Ronald catagorized the performance claims found on a lar=

and compared those claims to the chemical composition of the products.  H=

found little correlation between claims and chemistry.  And he found that=
