XADO Products

Hi guys

Sorry, I have a very n00b question. While browsing Wheels magazine I came across this ad by Xado (XADO Australia. Patented nano technology for in-place repair automotive & industrial equipment | Patented modern nano technology that protects and restores any friction surface). The product claims to protect, restore geometry of the worn out moving parts of engine gearbox, and diff with ceremac coating. It also claims that by using this, the car will have more engine power, less noise and reduce exhaust emission up to 30%. While I normally ignore those ads as it sounds too good to be true, one thing that caught my attention is that the product is apparently approved by VW, Volvo, Mercedes, and GM.

Has anyone used this product? and what did you think of it? I just got delivery of my MKVI Golf GTi - just wondering if this will be beneficial to the car.

Thanks in advance

Sounds like snake oil to me, save your money. If it was "approved" I'm sure the rats in after sales would try and add it to the paint and interior protection treatment pitches!

Sounds dodgy to me. Anyone recall Firepower? They claimed that a 'fuel pill' dropped in the tank would save you heaps on petrol. Turned out to be a major scam.

Thanks for the quick replies - thought it was the case. Case of too good to be true! They really shouldn't be allowed to use car makers' logos on their ads.

Hi mate. I'm renaming this thread from "Has anyone used this before?" to something useful like "Xado products".
I'm also moving it from the MK6 forum to General, as it has nothing to do with MK6's...

Please consider how you name a thread and where you place it.
Cheers

Will do, sorry about the inconvenience
