They've been sued by DuPont, had their asses slapped by the FTC for theirsnake-oil claims, been outed for marketing a product that has no genuinebenefits and can actually damage an engine, so how do they manage to stay inbusiness, still making essentially the same claims?

Don't know much about Slick 50, but it sure sounds like it could beslick.I've worked on cars long enough to know there is money to be made frompeddling cans of goop to: make engine engine oil slippery, enhancetransmission fluid, condition power steering fluid, stabilize gasoline,clean fuel injectors, improve fuel economy, improve engine performance,and plug a leaky cooling system. In my experience most of the productsdo no harm, and that's a good thing.

Why is Slick 50 still in business?

conditions..but

I would imagine if they could have proved the efficacy of their product, they could have easily avoided paying fines to the FTC.

DuPont was seemingly unimpressed as well, suing to get their name taken off the packaging.

Hard to say.. They made claims they couldn't document.
