Q. |
Why should I use Prolong Engine Treatment? | |
A. |
Prolong Engine Treatment successfully reduces friction and heat in your engine with its patented technology.
Your vehicle is a major investment; it makes sense to do everything possible to protect your engine and maintain
optimum performance. | |
| TOP |
Q. |
How is Prolong Engine Treatment different than other engine treatments? | |
A. |
Prolong Engine Treatment provides an advanced extreme pressure lubrication technology not found in any other engine
treatment. The AFMT™ (Anti-Friction Metal Treatment) formula is patented, your assurance that it is the only one of its kind and does
what it claims. Unlike many engine treatments, Prolong products do not contain solid particles such as PTFE resins, "molys," zinc, copper
or graphite. | |

Q. |
What's the difference between an oil treatment and Prolong Engine Treatment? | |
A. |
Rather than just adding thickeners to the oil, the patented Prolong formula actually interacts with your engine's
metal surfaces through a molecular and chemical process, creating a unique superior resistance to extreme friction and heat. Simply,
it "bonds" with metal to form a protective layer. | |
| TOP |
Q. |
Can I use Prolong Engine Treatment with any engine? | |
A. |
Prolong Engine Treatment is safe and effective for new or used, gasoline or diesel engines.
It can also be used in rotary engines. Prolong Engine Treatment is an ash-less petroleum product especially suited to
applications where lubrication and reduction of carbon build-up are critical factors. | |
| TOP |
Q. |
Does it matter what kind of oil I use? | |
A. |
Prolong Engine Treatment is compatible with both natural and synthetic oils. | |
| TOP |
Q. |
Does the treatment contain any solids? | |
A. |
No, Prolong Engine Treatment does not contain plastics, PTFE resins (Teflon®),
graphite, molybdenum disulfide (molys), or any other solids which may cause damage or harmful build-up. | |
| TOP |
Q. |
How often should I use Prolong Engine Treatment? | |
A. |
First install the 12 oz. Engine Treatment, which may be done at any time. It is
recommended that the Booster volume be added with each oil change, or at least every 6,000 miles or every 6 months. | |
| TOP |
Q. |
Can Prolong Engine Treatment be used in motorcycles? | |
A. |
Yes, use Prolong Engine Treatment at 10% to the volume. If your application utilizes a
wet-clutch and/or the oil is shared by both the engine and the transmission, use only 5% to the volume. | |
| TOP |
Q. |
Can Prolong Engine Treatment be used in a 2-cycle motor? | |
A. |
Yes, add the engine treatment to the oil only, at 10% to the volume,
then mix with gas. Use the same mixture for oil injection systems. | |

Q. |
Why should I use Prolong Transmission Treatment? | |
A. |
Problems with automatic or standard transmissions represent one of the most costly automotive repairs.
Prolong Transmission Treatment is formulated with patented AFMT™ (Anti-Friction Metal Treatment). When added to your
vehicle's transmission fluid or gear oil, it forms a protective layer of molecules on all the metal surfaces of the
transmission. Metal-to-metal extreme pressure friction and heat from clutch and gear application are significantly
reduced to optimize smooth shifting and equipment performance. | |
| TOP |
Q. |
Is Prolong Transmission Treatment compatible with the seals and gaskets in an automatic transmission? | |
A. |
Yes, it can be used with confidence in an automatic transmission. | |
| TOP |
Q. |
Will Prolong Transmission Treatment cause my clutch to slip? | |
A. |
No, the unique formulation will not impede clutch or band application. In some cases, a glaze forms on
clutch fibers and bands that causes clutches to slip. Applying Prolong Transmission Treatment can help remove this glaze and
other sticky build-up to optimize performance. | |
| TOP |
Q. |
Is Prolong Transmission Treatment compatible with all transmission fluids? | |
A. |
Yes, Prolong Transmission Treatment can be used with all types of standard and
synthetic transmission fluids and gear oils. | |
| TOP |
Q. |
How often should Prolong Transmission Treatment be used? | |
A. |
The first application can be made at any time, but may be most convenient to do when transmission
fluid is being changed. After the first application, Prolong Transmission Treatment does not need to be used again until
the fluid is changed. | |
| TOP |
Q. |
Will adding Prolong Transmission Treatment overfill my transmission fluid reservoir? | |
A. |
When adding Prolong Transmission Treatment to a manual transmission, remove 8 ounces of gear
oil (or if changing, put in 8 ounces less) then pour in contents of 8 oz. bottle. If adding to an automatic
transmission, contents may be poured in directly without removing or reducing the transmission fluid. | |

Q. |
What's so good or different about Prolong SPL100® Super Penetrating Lubricant Spray? | |
A. |
SPL100 does much more than the other well known sprays, some of which are not even real
lubricants. Some displace water, some are actually just cleaners. SPL100 cleans, penetrates, displaces moisture,
protects surfaces and lubricates metal mechanisms with superior patented AFMT™ technology. | |

Q. |
What's so good or different about Prolong EP-2 Multipurpose Grease? | |
A. |
Prolong grease is characterized by superior mechanical stability and extreme high load carrying
capability. It has excellent resistance to water, oxidation and corrosion, and outperforms other high temperature
greases such as lithium complex, aluminum complex, and many other polyurea greases. The grease is exceptionally
long-lasting and has extraordinary clinging power so that less grease is needed per application. | |

Q. |
What is Prolong Waterless Wash & Shine? | |
A. |
Waterless Wash & Shine is a revolutionary new method of washing and protecting your car in one easy step.
When you wash your car with a conventional car wash, you have to first get a hose, bucket, sponge, and chamois, then go through
the rinsing/washing/rinsing/drying process to finish the job. With Waterless Wash & Shine, all you do is spray onto the surface
of your car and wipe dry. It's that simple! The unique citrus-based formula dissolves dirt and contaminants with ease, while
special lubricating agents encapsulate the dirt so that it can easily be wiped off your car's delicate surface without scratching.
In addition to its powerful cleaning action, Waterless Wash & Shine leaves a protective film on your car that provides a just-waxed
shine and smoothness that conventional car washes fail to do. | |
| TOP |
Q. |
Will it scratch my car? | |
A. |
Absolutely not. When you wash your car with a conventional car wash, you have only the cleaning agent
and some water between your sponge and the surface of the car. There is nothing to protect the surface from the dirt
grinding against the paint. The special lubricating agent in Waterless Wash & Shine has been thoroughly tested and has
demonstrated in laboratory and real-life tests that it does not scratch the paint. The lubricating agents surround and
encapsulate the dirt so that your paint is not scratched when the dirt is wiped away. Waterless Wash & Shine is safe to
use and can be used with any terry cloth towel.
| |
| TOP |
Q. |
Can I use it on extremely dirty surfaces? | |
A. |
Unfortunately, even our special lubricating agents won't help if your car has caked-on dirt.
To use Waterless Wash & Shine in this case, we first suggest that you remove all the large dirt particles with a hose.
Remember, Waterless Wash & Shine was designed for cars that are lightly to moderately soiled.
| |
| TOP |
Q. |
On what surfaces may I use Waterless Wash & Shine? | |
A. |
Waterless Wash & Shine was designed for use on any exterior surface of a car except for the tires.
This includes the paint, chrome, plastic trim, painted plastic, wheel rims, headlamp covers and even glass. We do not
recommend the product be used for vinyl tops or fabric. | |
| TOP |
Q. |
How often can I use Waterless Wash & Shine? | |
A. |
You can use Waterless Wash & Shine as often as you like. It will not build up.
It's great for every day use or weekly car care. | |
| TOP |
Q. |
How many cars can I treat with one 17oz. bottle? | |
A. |
Depending on how dirty your car is, you might use a different amount each time you apply the product.
For an average sized car with light to moderate soil, you can clean up to five cars with a 17oz. bottle.
| |
| TOP |
Q. |
On what types of cars can I use Waterless Wash & Shine? | |
A. |
Waterless Wash & Shine is safe for conventional and clear-coated
paints and therefore can be used on any type of car. | |
| TOP |
Q. |
Other uses? | |
A. |
Waterless Wash & Shine works exceptionally well on nearly any surface. Try it on fiberglass boats, personal
water craft, motorcycles, RV's, bicycles, and even lawn furniture, barbecue covers, etc. | |
| TOP |
Q. |
Can Waterless Wash & Shine remove tree sap and bird droppings from my paint? | |
A. |
Waterless Wash & Shine was designed with those tough contaminants in mind. Tree sap, road tar, bugs and bird
droppings are all easily removed with Waterless Wash & Shine. Even if used full-strength, conventional car washes cannot clean
tar spots, but the citrus based Waterless Wash & Shine safely removes tar with no effort at all. | |
| TOP |
Q. |
Can I use Waterless Wash & Shine in the sun? | |
A. |
Yes. You can use the product in the sun or in the shade. It is easier to use in a shaded area, so the product
doesn't dry as quickly, but you can use it wherever and whenever you like. | |
| TOP |
Q. |
How many towels should I use to treat an entire car? | |
A. |
The best way to use the product is to use one towel to spread the product and wipe the surface clean and another
clean towel to remove any excess and wipe the surface dry. For an average size car, two to three towels should be enough. We encourage
you to always use clean sides of the towel so if your car is exceptionally dirty, you may need more towels. | |
| TOP |
Q. |
Do I have to use a terry cloth towel? | |
A. |
No. You don't have to use a terry cloth towel, but terry cloth towels are more effective at cleaning the car and
storing the removed dirt and contaminants in the nap of the towel, safely away from your paint. | |
| TOP |
Q. |
How does Prolong Waterless Wash & Shine compare to a 'wash & wax'? | |
A. |
The 'wash & wax' products on the market are not very effective. This is due to the fact that waxes and washes don't
really mix. As a result, when you rinse your car, any wax that there may be in the formula is being rinsed off as well. Waterless Wash &
Shine not only cleans your car but also leaves a protective film that is not attracted to water and therefore won't rinse off. | |
| TOP |
Q. |
How does Prolong Waterless Wash & Shine compare to other waterless washes? | |
A. |
Competitor's quick detailing products only remove light dust and must be applied in the shade.
They contain petroleum distillates and may be harmful if swallowed and can cause skin irritation. Some may explode
if the bottle is over-pressurized and require vigorous shaking before use. By comparison, Waterless Wash & Shine
requires no buffing or polishing (just spray on and wipe off), can be applied anywhere, is a citrus-based formula
that dissolves and removes tree sap, road tar, bugs and bird droppings, contains no petroleum distillates, is
essentially non-toxic, won't explode, and doesn't require vigorous shaking. It's the simplest, most effective
way to clean and protect your car, anywhere, anytime, leaving your paint with an amazing gloss finish! | |
