Works great/for Trim Dye

Works great on oil pan gasket leaks and steering gear leaks. I had a good black light flashlight and bought some of these yellow goggles but found they work better with just a black light. Small things have a big impact. Only used one bottle so far and 5 more awaiting the day I need to use them.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Updates available

75% less than store bought - great product and value for money.

I used this to find an oil leak on my diesel truck - this product is twice as concentrated and half the price of what is sold in dealerships, so a quarter the price; I had to use more than I expected to see the color under UV light, but I think that's partly due to the low level of UV light I have. Great product for finding vehicle leaks at a great price.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Negative

Makes leaks “glow” in the dark!

This material is great if you have a UV lamp. This helped me track down an oil leak that had eluded me for years. My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner. It says it's safe for the oil, but it changes color to a slightly yellowish tint. After fixing the leak, I changed the oil just in case. When exposed to UV light, this substance glows like the blood of a predator. Rschunimagu.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Not sure

Great for locating leaks

This fluorescent leak test fluid allowed me to find the source of an oil leak in my car. It came from the power steering line. I was able to identify the source of the leak and take care of it immediately. It can also be used in other applications. I have a UV flashlight that comes with amber glasses that allow you to see the fluorescent dye really easily and clearly.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Damaged

NOT THE SAME! Best in paints and foundations

We have used this color for many years. The bottles we received no longer make the oil glow like it used to, and we've upped the usage by 4 to try and get it working properly like it used to. Now we've tried it on three different cars with the same performance error, so it's not a different problem. Called Tracer and said they will not endorse any product not sold through their approved distributors and Revain is not one of them. DO NOT BUY. not sure what you will get.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Useless features

Oil leaks are best found in paints and primers.

I have a test plane that has started to use a lot of oil. I wasn't sure if it was a leak or the crankcase ventilation had blown out. I poured half a bottle and flew for an hour. Closed the hangar doors and turned on the $12.95 black light flashlight I bought at the same time. Quickly found a crack in the oil tank. This kit saved the day. I drained the oil and repaired the crack. Good stuff. My only concern is leaving it in the engine for a full 40 hours between oil changes. The description says

Pros
  • Hard finish
Cons
  • Fragile

This stuff works great! I had a differential leak but I could.

This stuff works great! I had a differential leak but couldn't pinpoint exactly where the leak was coming from. I figured it was probably a transmission seal, but I didn't want to take the back apart until I was sure it was the problem. I added Tracer Products leak detection fluid to the diff, topped up the diff fluid, then cleaned the diff case thoroughly and drove the car for about a week. Then I just crawled under a truck in a dark garage with a UV flashlight and Tracer Products Leak…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Modern
