A water-based pre-treatment that prepares a cooling loop for compatibility with modern high-performance coolants. Its main job is regulating the pH fluctuation caused by copper coming off radiators, the variable that quietly decides whether a mixed-metal loop stays stable. Ships in the box with True and Vue.
