I figure you can't go wrong using the Prestone brand but I would have to read both to see what the difference is.

i used the Preston 10 minute quick flush twice for now. i wanted to use the other Preston 3-6 hour super cleaner but when you use either of these, you have to use striaght water with them and its to cold outside now and im afraid the water may freeze...so thats why i used the 10 minute flush only. when spring comes along i will try the stronger 3-6 hour super cleaner....the 10 minute flush does work though but im betting its not as strong as the super cleaner....

Off course, I apologize. The cleaner is called Barīs Nural
