Waterless coolant

Just done the rad on the Charger AT LAST. (Massive ally rad and new piping lovely) and it happen to coincide with an episode of wheeler-dealers on the tellybox where they were doing a stag/MG/TR or something similar (i.e. same sort of vintage as us) and Ed flushed it all out as it was manky rust water and then put in 'waterless coolant'.
He then proceeded to get it up to op temperature, and just took the rad cap off. Because it doesnt boil until much later it doesnt pressurise. Never needs changing (lifetime of engine).
So, cools better, doesnt boil, never needs changing, doesnt let things corrode. Couldnt see whats not to like. Anyone done it ?

Been discussed here a couple of times before if you do a search. The general consensus seems to be run away now it's snake oil....
