Does Speedflush work?
Yes, Holts Speedflush is an effective way to clean your car’s cooling system, including the hoses, channels, and radiator. The product contains specialist cleaning agents that remove scale, deposits, and rust from the cooling system without causing blockages or damage, making it a much more effective way to flush the cooling system than using water alone.
Does Speedflush work to clean my radiator?
Holts Speedflush powers through the complete cooling system, including the radiator. Lifting deposits and scale, it flushes particles and corrosion out of the radiator, meaning no more blocked channels and maximum cooling system efficiency.
Is Speedflush a permanent repair?
Holts Speedflush should be used whenever you need to flush your car’s cooling system. So, the intervals at which you need to apply the product will depend on the quoted lifespan of your coolant/antifreeze.
High-quality coolant/antifreeze typically lasts for 10 years before it needs changing. However, cheaper, less premium fluids may need changing more frequently, potentially every 3-5 years.
Whenever you remove old coolant/antifreeze from your car, use Holts Speedflush to clean the cooling system before you add fresh coolant. Removing deposits and restoring performance, it ensures maximum efficiency for the fresh coolant/antifreeze in the system.
