do it the right way by finding the leak and replacing the hose, oring or part necessary.
I have had success with this setup on lesser cars and even with the nsx however with that said, this is only a tempory fix and may often lead to more trouble down the line.
If you are really on a budget a 25$ bottle might fix your problem or it might not.
From experience, if you have an air leak in the COMPRESSOR.
DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT.
since when these products get in contact with air, it forms a hard solid blockage at the point of air intrusion.
If the leak is in your a/c compressor and when you start up the car and run the compressor, the solid part will get broken off and get lodged in your compressor which could cause more problems such as metal shards working through your a/c system and the compressor developing an even bigger leak.
the problem with metal in the system is when you go to put in a new compressor, just vacuuming the system is no longer adequate and now you'll need to flush the a/c system to remove all the metal parts. this is much more expensive.
Im a big "do it right the first time" guy.
Change out what needs to be done.
Sometimes an a/c system has multiple leaks such as 1 from the compressor and 1 or more from old o-rings. Just take your time and replace one worn out item at a time as you find them.
happy motoring
