I used this stuff in a whim because why not. It ended up making a noticable improvement in how my cars ran. Now I try to recommend it to others as it may provide them with results as well. You've convinced yourself it does nothing so don't use it. Anyone who actually tries it will tell you otherwise.

30 seconds of reading the website told me all I needed to know about it. There is more bullshit on that site than in a farmers field. The "tests" are just about as valuable.

Because the treatment would stick to the imperfections within the engine that are normally worn down during the "break-in" period and harden them. It says clearly not to use the treatment until after the manufacturers recommended break in period. You obviously know nothing of this product and are just trying to start arguments for fun. :popcorn:

Well, now @Somerandom18, I see where ol @Tcoat has looked into this compound, while I took my loooooong Sunday on a rainy day nap.

First off, you know very little about what I know and don't know. However, as a chemist and having a 60 year working knowledge of the internal combustion engine, I think I will look into this application for this compound.

Secondly, I don't usually try to start arguments ....... however, I have finished a few.

Later.

@Somerandom18 and @Tcoat , I've completed my on-line literature research of this product called Cerma STM-3.

Executive summary:

Tcoat is right ....... it's mostly snake oil, with some modern day smoke and mirrors thrown in.

I figured where they got the name from; who came up with the "chemistry" language; who is the marketing "genius" and who is accounting for the money they are scraping in.

References are from:

Google

MSDS

LinkedIn

Wikipedia

What chemistry is this product based on?

"Silicon carbide (SiC), also known as carborundum /kɑːrbəˈrʌndəm/, is a compound of silicon and carbon with chemical formula SiC. It occurs in nature as the extremely rare mineral moissanite. Silicon carbide powder has been mass-produced since 1893 for use as an abrasive."

Now, I just know you folks are interested if finding out more about this product and the organization that is "marketing" it, so, I have deal for you.

For a mere $96.00 (plus handling and shipping) I will send you the results of my research. The results will be shipped on quality paper in an unbreakable, waterproof plastic tube, with an air tight, sealed cap.
