Cerma engine treatment

Has anyone used the cerma engine treatment. If so what we're some of the positive results and were there any negatives to report.

This discussion is about the cerma product.

This discussion is about the cerma product.
it isn't all that flattering with regards to most aftermarket products
discussed.....

and at over $200 for the "treatment"......

there are ceramic coatings used in all manner of things.
but the application is a manufacturing process, not a
"crack open the bottle and pour it in" process.

at least from what i've seen.

something that really did what it was reported to do, would
need no advertising at all.

Tried this stuff in my 2006 PSD in an effort to improve mpg and my mpg actually went down. I called the head guy on it, and he said my truck was too new??? Did not offer refund as their guarantee suggests. Just now getting back to my prior mpg numbers "pre cerma" treatment after one year. All else is running really good, and the turbo does seem to spool a bit more quickly. I guess I would be willing to try it again, but the product would have to be FOC.
