[net.auto.tech] Slick 50

I have just purchased a new car and am toying with the idea
of treating the engine with a product I have seen advertised
called "Slick 50". It is, I believe, one of these products that
coat the moving parts of an engine with Teflon. Does anyone have
any experience with this stuff? Does it work? The ads *claim* that
engines have been treated with this stuff, then after some period
of time the engine was drained of oil and run with no appreciable
damage. While I tend to think that there would be heat damage, I am
not concerned about the claim because I don't plan to run the car
without oil. I am curious, however, about the benefits the product
might have on cold startups, engine life and mileage. Does anyone have
any experience that might point to long term damage caused by use of 
this type of product? Thanks in advance.
