They're nothing special.

There are plenty of fringe-product being multi-level marketed.
Some work better than others. Some are expensively-repackaged
products that can be bought for a fraction of the price from other
sources. And some degrade other substances that co-habit engines,
transmissions and bearings.

Unless you're working for K-mart, etc; you would never say that what
you're selling is crap. I'm not saying that it is; the lack of
_technical_ literature for the product amongst the pile of
testimonials in the marketing literature rings enough alarm bells to
make me reach for a barge-pole.

Absence of a company website; anywhere on the planet, makes me worry
about the value of guarrantees of performance.

Just about any lubricant will achieve that.

Apologies if this seems harsh; but it's what you should expect for
unsolicited advertising.
