i've not used it, but i (literally an hour ago) just seen an advert starring Ed China (the mechanic from wheeler dealers) about it, so he's obviously endorsing it. from what i have heard it is meant to be pretty good stuff.

I wouldn't take any celebrity endorsement as a good thing. I bet you that he didn't approach the company and say "Wow your product is amazing. Can I endorse it for you?" More likely they approached him and said "Endorse our product and we will pay you ££££"

There's mixed reviews online about these products. What makes you think you should clean your engine?

Modern engines with modern fuels don't need decoking.

Friend of mine had his Rev 5 Terracleaned at a place in Portsmouth. tells me its made a marginal difference to performance and so far MGP seems to be slightly better. It was the first 2 the place had done, they mainly use it for Powerboat engines apparantly
