Default Water wetter

My GTO has been running hot the last few times I took it out. The faster I drive the higher the temperature creeps up, even just driving around with no hard acceleration.
So figured I’d start with the basics. The coolant that’s in the car is what I put in there back in ‘08 when I dropped the newly rebuilt engine in. I figured it’s long overdue for a good flush of the block and radiator.
Instead of refilling with the 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water, I’d try Water Wetter. I used it back in the 90’s on a hot running car, but don’t know if it actually helped or not. My cars now stay in a heated and A/C shop, so freezing in the winter isn’t an issue.
So, anyone using Water Wetter? Did it help cooling? Anyone hate it? Why?
Thanks!
