You can look it up in the Skeptics Dictionary - you'll find it between Haunted Houses and Homeopathy. To quote

"Hiclone promises fuel savings of up to 20%, power increase of up to 15%, and hydro carbon emission reductions of up to 30% with prices from $160-$215 (Australian). They'll even sell you something called Fuelmax which "is a magnetic frequency resonator which clips onto the fuel line and 'fractures' the passing fuel, allowing it to mix with oxygen more readily and thus burn more efficiently." This should keep you laughing for up to ten minutes"

The results were certainly good, although I onnly laughed for 5 minutes - perhaps because I'm an old bastard and remember the Brock Polariser and such.

Gav, Ant fit a polariser to your car, and it's making 1000hp now :)

Those so called magnetic stuff are crap. Same as broquet fuel catalyst or what nots. Wtf would something invented in WW1 be so amazingly applicable today that major maufacturers don't implement it? Think about it. Manufacturers would boost their sales if they can increase their fuel efficency with just a few hundred bucks. After all... whats a few hundred when u're paying thousands? Every car manufacturer, esp in the economy class, toyota, mitsubishi, etc.. are trying to get better fuel economy so as to promote their cars, you'd think something as "proven" as fuel magnets and stuff like that would make their way into the production line if it worked.

So cut the crappy stuff out, and think for a while. It's all a placebo. " I paid good $$ for it and it definitely works, cause if it didn't i'm as good as a sucker"

Sorry if it was too blunt and harsh, its just that i've got wayyyyy too many friends who paid good $$ for this kinda stuff to try to improve fuel economy and get more power. And they swear by it, and it just gets a lil irritating sometimes. The best way to get better fuel economy out of your car is always your right foot, and of course your necessary maintenence, tyres and tyre pressure, etc.

    • To expand on this to help understanding... The bigger/longer the block is, the more it's going to work to sit on your far away high areas, and not touch the low stuff in the middle. When you throw the guide coat, and give it a quick go with a big block, guide coat will disappear in the high spots. If those high spots are in the correct position where the panel should be, stop sanding, and fill the low spots. However, using a small block, you "fall off" one of the high spots, and now your sanding the "side of the hill". Your little block would have been great for the stone chips, where you only use a very small amount of filler, so you're sanding and area let's say the size of a 5/10cent piece, with something that is 75*150. For the big panel, go bigger!   And now I'll go back to my "body work sucks, it takes too much patience, and I don't have it" PS, I thought your picture with coloured circles was an ultra sound... That's after my brain thought you were trying to make a dick and balls drawing...
    • Oh I probably didn't speak enough about the small sanding block for blocking large areas.  In the video about 3 minutes in, he talks about creating valleys in the panel. This is the issue with using a small sanding block for a large area, it's way too easy to create the valleys he is talking about. With a large block its much easier to create a nice flat surface.  Hard to explain but in practice you'll notice the difference straight away using the large block. 
    • Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you  
    • The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol
