I used it as a preventative measure at Quasi's recommendation when I got my 9K at 90K miles but I still needed a heater core at 110K, and it wasn't leaking when I got the car. It made only a slihgt difference in my daughter's '95. I'm unimpressed. Haven't used it since.
My indy actively discourages use of Barrs, saying he's consistently found it to plug older heater cores while it's stopping leaks. Has seen it be trouble in older radiators, too. I guess it's OK if it's a car you're going to sell, but not for one that's a keeper.
