Zoltan, I'd recommend against using any of these as they reactivate old leaks, in my experience. Prestone or the others work, but as they clean they also remove whatever gunk is clogging your pinhole leaks. True, you could argue that you shouldn't have these leaks to begin with, but many of us do, and do you really want to tear down your engine to fix them once you've cleaned out your cooling system? This is one of the few products I've had consistently bad results with. I'm also not certain there are any great benefits to rinsing with anything stronger than just water. My two forints.
