Water wetter works best when only mixed with water. If your car is driven in sub zero or cold temperatures then you would have to flush your system before winter and used appropriate coolant. The product does work, but can only do so much.

When was the last time you cleaned out your radiator & AC intake? I recently did this for the first time (53,000 miles on the car), and like many others here have reported, got literally a dust pan's worth of dirt, sand, leaves and other debris out. There was even a piece of straw up there! It made about a 5-7* difference in my running temps.

These cars are designed to run on the hot side. 200* is nothing. I don't even think the dummy lights come on until 240*. At VIR last month it was 105* and mine ran 232* all day. Never got over. I am thinking the high speed fans don't come on until 235*?

The water wetter doesn't do much when mixed with 50/50 mix. I wouldn't waste the money.

I clean it about every 2nd or 3rd time I take it out. I blast it with an air hose. and spray with a garden hose. I am very **** about my corvettes. but if they run 200 or over I shouldent worry. thanks all for the info. (GINO)
