Default Z-Max additive?

HI all,
I've been seeing Z-max additive on some of the car shows. I am thinking about using it. Wanted to get some feedback from anyone using it or knowing more than me about it before using it.
Thx,Walt

whats in it.
ususally those additives all contain one thing
petroleum distillate.

they are all the same just a little bit of an oil based solvent.

You could try Microlon. I know a lot of bike shops here in Tokyo use it and recommend it.
Also on their ( Microlon ) site they have some tech reports, though I have not read through them yet.
