Bill,
That's the one. There are still selling it, but it looks like they are
getting around the FTC by using the Internet instead of TV.

Here is the transcript of the infomercial. This was one of the most
impressive, unbelievable ads I had ever seen.

and the complaint against the company.

When I was Googling Prolong, I also found something Harry might find
helpful.

Years ago their was a Miracle Additive, that was on Late Night
Infomercial,
that would eliminate 99% of the heat and friction. They would run the
car
with this additive for a few hundred miles, drain the engine, remove the
oil
filter and then run it all over town for hundreds of miles. The engine
was
" perfect" and it wouldn't even get hot.

This product had endorsements from God and the world. For some reason I
don't see this product being advertised anymore. I wonder what
happened.
; ) I would have thought this would have taken over the lubrication
industry.

PS - Does anyone remember the name of the product. I would like to do a
Google.




I believe you are referring to Prolong, a snake oil additive that was
popular some years back before the Federal Trade Commission stepped in and
demanded proof, just like they did to the Splitfire sparkplugs.
