Couldn't any big company reverse engineer this product and sell their own version of it?

If it works this well I'm wondering why it hasn't been done.

haha.... reverse engineering this stuff is not easy. I actually have all the tools to do it in my lab, just not the time. See the easy part is figuring out what is in it, I could probably due that in a week or so, the hard part is finding out how much of each is in it. Then once you find that, you have to devlope the process to produce it. So this is all quite costly, say it costs about $250,000 USD (which about what my lab would charge for something like this), you then have a bill for $250,000, then you have to build the plant, which will cost you another $250,000-$500,000 depending on complexity of the processing. So you are easily $500,000 in the whole before you start, which means you will basically need to sell this stuff for years just to pay it off, and that doesn't include addrertising. But lets say you get some big company to back you and you get all this money and do this, you have another problem. This company has been around for quite a while, I'm sure they probably fully own their facilties by now, which means they have no real property bills, which means they can sell cheaper than a new company can make it. And we have not even gotten to the legal issues, who knows if it is patented or what ever.

I forgot, when was the last time you wanted to get your name out? did you just tell people, "hey I'm LubeControlDistributors. goodbye." ????? no you wouldn't be that stupid would both of you? no you make friends with people, synergize, trade tit for tat, financial reimbursement, etc. do you think this is some fly-by-night operation? no, they've been around for 40 years. <<<edited so please, just get over the bashing and get on with yourselves.

Been away for awhile...interesting thread this has become.


We pay for advertising space on this websiste just like any other company. We simply put 7thgencivic link on our website so anyone interested in our products could find other places that discuss it.

It only helps us for someone to be able to go to other forums and see what others say.

FYI companies have tried multiple times to reverse engineer our products and have yet to figure it out. What makes it unique is some chemicals used mask other chemicals and also the order in which the process is done changes the chemical makeup.
