i run rainx' 2 n 1 which is -25 no problems so far. I dont think it will leave deposits unless you leave it on and it just runs down into your intake while the engines not running

I'm pretty sure you want to run just water and methanol... the low temp stuff has glycol in it I believe

I was tol to run the -20 Peak. That is what Snow Performance reccomended. Unless I mixed my own or bought their boost juice. I don't see how it would leave anything behind unless you shut the engine off directly after using it.

There is no way it can. -20 is only water, 30% methanol and blue dye.
Do not use anything that says "deicer" on the bottle, they have glycol.
