Thermocure vs Evapo-Rust?
Hey All,
I can't find any Thermocure anywhere near me and was wondering if I used Evapo-rust, could I still drive the car? I've been driving with Cascade for a few days already. Regards Bill |

Re: Thermocure vs Evapo-Rust?
Agreed 110%
But if locals can’t step up …you have to do what you have to do. I have to keep work flowing so that’s my take. Don’t really like Walmart either but then again…..you got to do |

Re: Thermocure vs Evapo-Rust?
Yes, you can drive the car with Evapo Rust in the cooling system. It works better when it is hot and will not harm the cooling system. You may have to use several applications if the system has a lot of rust in it.
I feel a better product than Evapo Rust is "Rust 911". It comes in concentrated form that you dilute 16/1 with water. It is a lot cheaper than buying Evapo Rust and i think it may be the same thing when as Evapo Rust when Rust 911 is diluted. You can buy Rust 911 online directly from the manufacturer. I have been using the stuff for years with very good results. Chris W. |

Re: Thermocure vs Evapo-Rust?
I hate Amazon. Bought Evopo Rust from Walmart, almost as bad.
Google is your friend. Lowes, Home Depot, Ace etc also list it. Last edited by GPierce; 11-07-2022 at 09:14 AM. |

Such a marketing fail, ... No auto parts stores carry Thermocure on their shelves which it's intended use is for a car. Regards Bill |

As far as needing to inventory Thermocure, ...exactly how many vehicles do the majority of auto parts store's customers have that use an engine that does not have an aluminum head, and aluminum radiator, and an aluminum engine block? Very, very few, ...and of the ones that do have an engine with a cast iron engine block, that number is not that much greater. Since the aluminum is not going to rust, not much call for it!! Therefore, to get into the era of cast iron head(s) and block puts a vehicle back some 30+ years ago, and likely less than 1% of their customer base has a need for Thermocure. Again, the retail space cost is likely too great to get a ROI for most stores. |

In fact, it's so bad that for most consumer products, that if they cant get a spot on Wal-Mart's shelf, they will soon go under and if not, they will never grow beyond what they currently are. Every company I have ever fabricated for that was consumer related, it was highly stressed that Wal-Mart has to buy it, or the company will struggle. Worst part is, Wal-Mart is very demanding. They want twice what they pay for than any other potential outlet for the same price or less or your out. I've heard it from the Bentonville corporate office myself. Still ton's of Iron blocks around here and everyone and their mothers auto parts store has ZDDP on their shelves. Regards Bill |

Re: Thermocure vs Evapo-Rust?
I usually go to O'Reilly's online and see if the item I want is in stock. If not I order it and it appears at the store the next morning by 9am. Not ideal but I can count on getting it the next morning.
I understand why they don't keep low sellers on the shelf. How many people are going to walk in and ask for a 3X plug or in your case, Therocure? |

Re: Thermocure vs Evapo-Rust?
Cruise the aisles at Auto Zone or O’Reilys and it is evident what Brent was explaining about shelf space ROI. Lots of glitzy junk in my opinion.

Anyhow, I just ordered from O'reilly's online and I can pick it up by 5:30 today from the same store that told me that if I order it, it will come from Reno, Nevada. I'm not sure how that will work. According to Google map's, Reno is 430 miles away from the store where I will pick it up and within 8 hours. Oh, I called CRC and they have no idea why it's not on the shelves. They sell to corporate suppliers and they do not know who to ask to find it in any particular area. Regards Bill |

Re: Thermocure vs Evapo-Rust?
ROI = return on investment
When the yuppies took over the place I worked, the parts department went from "serving the customer" to "serving the bottom line". |

Re: Thermocure vs Evapo-Rust?
I picked up my Thermocure from O'Reilly's at 7pm. ROI my ass. Two other items showed up with my order.
1) Thermocure (mine) 2) A 4" long bypass hose (not mine) 3) An axle dust cap (not mine) That's everything that came from Reno to the store, only those three items. Everyone sells Thermocure for $30+ and I got it for 26.99 with NO shipping charges, only tax. Riddle me this, ... if you think ROI had anything to do with this, at what point of the sale did they make a profit when it all went to shipping a single bottle from 430 miles away? If they DID make a profit after shipping, don't you think it's worth having a 6 quarts in the store? It's cheaper to ship 6 at a time instead of singles which would only add to their coffers.

Re: Thermocure vs Evapo-Rust?
So I take it Thermocure by Evapo-Rust is the best cooling system flush treatment this forum has used?
