I saw them about 2 years ago at Mechanex and had a demo a few weeks later. They called round and wanted to demo it on a customers car but I talked them into using it on our work horse a well used 2002 1.9D Renault scenic with 125K on her. Our Scenic has always had a bit of a flat spot around 2000rpm (not that bad we have just got use to it TBH), the Terraclean rep assured me that the product would cure this and give me more MPG around 10 to 12 so I let him carry on. As he was doing his thing I ask him how does it do what it does and his answer was "The chemical is postively charged and the carbon is negativly charged so it decarbonates it that way" . Then I got the feeling of that was the demo and its time to sign on the dotted line .... I dont think so, I'll run it and let you know. Over the next few months it did more mpg but only about 3/4 but that came from using the dash computer to be fair and didnt go by filling the tank but after about 6 months its back to normal, and the flat spot was still there.
Today I went to the garage expo and Terraclean were there. They stoped me as I walked past and it went somthing like this "have you seen our product?" "yes I have and I've had a demo" "What did you think sir?" " In a word ...rubish" "OH!!"
After explaining what happened they told me that in the whole of the UK I'm the only person who has had a demo has ever said that . They told me that it was a one off and it does work and I could earn alot of money from it. They claim they have people earning 90K a year from it alone. I inform them that there was no way I could sell a product that I dont believe in myself, to which this jumped up sod told me that I didnt have to believe in it, I just needed to take the money off the customer. But the best was at the end when he told me that Ed China belives in it, at that point I told him I could never take anybody serious that thinks it good business to buy a car spend a fortune on it sell it for few hundred more and never take your labour into account, but mainly Ed Chain doesnt even know how to get dressed in the morning (t-shirt on over a jumper) They never gave me a proper reason why our demo didnt work they just keep banging on about there new advert and how much money I could earn from it. I get the feeling that they just want sales and dont care about resaults.
I'm going to try the BG products next because I spoke them today and they told me I could rent the machine for month and give it a try.
