I was reading Sep issue of Street Roader and 'bits & pieces" was this

i've heard it helps with hot spots, just like water wetter would. I've never tried it myself.

     I think I'll stick with anti-freeze.

I use water wetter on my 66 Mustang..but I am thinking  that the dishwashing liquid has the advantage that if your car overheats and your temperature gauge is not working the bubbles form the soap diswashing liquid coming from the radiator cap will let you know

Guys,

  Think about this... A squirt of dishwashing liquid gives you plenty of bubbles to do your dishes. A quarter cup of dishwashing fluid is a TON to be pouring into your cooling system!!  I can only imagine bubble city out of your overflow hose.

DIdnt chity chity bang bang blow bubbles out the tailpipe?If you have a head gasket go you could do the same ,or maybe that was willy wonka

A quarter cup would be enough bubbles to wash your house I would think??? And under pressure, I suppose it make it easy to find a cooling sytem leak! Don't think I could recomend this one..
