This product is the real deal I have a 2005 pajero diesel with 500,000kms on the clock the auto was... starting to play up and it has always ran hot when towing since adding the aw10 to all systems the car is running very smoothly and the automatic is totally different….I really can’t explain how much difference this product has made but before adding it I was getting quotes on rebuilding or replacing the automatic!Not now 😀Thanks guys keep up the good workread more

I normally think of most additives as snake oil, I have to say though, two seperate vehicles... responding to just the FTC decarboniser and the CRD Fuel enhancer, both showing far more available torque and hell of a lot quieter operation. That, and it’s an Aussie run company, definitely recommend at least trying their stuff in your own rig, it’s made a difference in mine and a mates that’s for sure.read more

Carried out the engine oil flush on port side volvo penta 6cylinder was show excess pressure coming... from breather and used fuel additives also.Definite reduction in smoke out the exhaust was happy with result there.Still too much blowby so removed head I diagnosed poss head gasket which turned out to be correct with head bolts not very tight from previous work carried out prior to my ownership.I was happy with the fact that all cylinder showed hone marks and no glazing which I believe the flush coorrected hence the reduction of smoke.Recommended fuel additive to a workmate who was blown away by immediate results and has saved him buying new common rail injectors in his Hiace. Highly recommend your Productsread more

Used the CEM Oil Flush and you wouldnt believe how clean the head is looking after just one... treatment. I've tried other supercheap/repco products, but none have reduced blow by in my TD42 Patrol like this stuff. Definitely worth the money!read more

I have a 2011 Western Star Detroit DD15 with 1.3 million kms, used for all sorts of work including... up to triple road trains. I have been using FTC Decarboniser and ran an oil flush through it at 1.1 million kms. Still does not use a drop of oil between 20,000km service intervals. Had my mechanic pull the sump off to do a bearing roll at Christmas and we found insides spotless, even still has cross hatching in the bores! Sump and head haven't been off before.Steven AndrewLincolndale Bulk Haulageread more

Jimmy and the team treat everyone as a their closest buddy, it's good to feel valued.I absolutely... can't speak highly enough for the products, nothing comes close. The FTC Decorbonizer has save $$$ in diesel engine repairs for friends and family.No wonder the mining industry uses CEM products as part of their maintenence schedule.Yes, I'm a devote regular customer.read more

Bought Decarbonizer and the Flushing Oil Concentrate to use on my tractor and excavator, sadly a... bit too late for the digger....needs a rebuild. But the tractor was a definite improvement, the engine ran sweeter and a lot less gunk from the exhaust, really noticeable. Thoroughly recommend, the only suggestion is to maybe reconsider the product names....bit confusing. But names are not everything, absolutely worth the money. Many thanksread more

Frankly, I am astounded with the difference. I have been using the FTC Decarbonizer for the last... 1,500k. My mechanic has warned me the engine on my Winnebago Motorhome (Chevy 6.5L turbo diesel, 17 yrs old, 225k on the clock) was exhibiting signs of blow-by. There is now no evidence of smoke from the exhaust under load, the performance has improved, the engine just runs smoother, but incredibly it starts first time after being a difficult starter for several years. I am looking forward to its next service to see what the mechanic has to say. Great product.read more

Forget going to car stores to buy maintenance products. I have been using their engine and... drivetrain lubricants, optimisers, and internal engine cleaners for years, and truly believe there are none better - at any price. Service is terrific, and advice is accurate and helpful. These products are simply the best there are.read more

I have used the AW10 in several cars now. It has made a HUGE difference in all of them. My little... junk Barina that I drive to the train station had a noisy engine and it got hot fast. After using the AW10, it is quiet and the temp takes a while to get to it's working temp. The car runs really well now. All the other cars are running well too.The Rust Conqueror is AMAZING. Works so much better than anything else I have tried. I first saw the XTroll rust treatment way back in the late 80's. It was fantastic back then. Over time I lost the can and moved states. I needed to treat some rust and nothing I used worked properly. I searched for the XTroll and found it with the Cost Effective Maintenance team. They were so helpful. The stuff isn't cheap but it is more than worth it. You want your equipment to last, Use the AW10 and XTroll. Look at the other products too. You won't regret it.read more
