Terrible product, brakes failed quickly

Through trial and error, I found that this product was not up to par. While it did initially provide good braking power, it quickly deteriorated and caused my brakes to fail.

Pros
  • Initial braking power was solid
Cons
  • Product failed quickly, causing dangerous situation

Silicone Fluid for My Classic Car

I love silicone fluid for my classic car. There is no chance of damaging the paint if spilled. Lasts many, many years before replacement is required.

Pros
  • 500°F Protection
Cons
  • Cons

Violet dye can be dark purple.

As described. I will say that the purple color of the dye is not as obvious as I would like (in the vent hose). Converted from point 3 to point 5 in a 1960 Triumph. The TR3 is a bit trickier as I wasn't sure if I saw purple when bleeding the brake and clutch hoses. So I used more DotA 5 than I otherwise could.

Pros
  • Specially formulated hydraulic brake fluid for superior benefits
Cons
  • No insurance
