I tried to convince myself it worked as it used to make my car engine idle speed rise. Many have come and gone since.

Ceramic is the new Buzzword hence I have some Ceramic Wax.
For a while Nano Technology ruled new product launches - suspect a lot of it is pseudo science.

Exactly, and Boron or derivatives in status would appear to fulfill that link to "Ceramic" moniker desire to be cutting edge. Boron component is in many oil formulation in contribution to that makeup. Essentially adding more of it at high cost in small cans is really what the secondary market is about.

The link above speaks of this aspect and its value too.

Wasn’t that “Molyslip”?

My ex-BiL drove his Simca 1000 about 12 miles home with zero oil pressure having purchased a Molyslip Lubrication Kit a few months earlier. The only damage was to one cylinder bore  when he rebuilt the engine. The bore was scored by a gudgeon pin that moved sideways. IIRC he just replaced the liner plus the shells! Circa 1968/9.
