Depends on the specific product.
Most aren't good for your engine because they contain alcohol or chlorene, and make it run too hot. Of course, if it's just for winterization, negative effects are minimal.
Some are specialized, and just do a couple things. Some are multi-purpose, but don't do many things well.
TRC's DZ-Lene is multi-purpose, and does all things well (all the things the power pill is supposed to do) because it's a very high-quality, superior product. The company has a long, positive history with trucking companies, industry, etc.
I sent a sample to a land speed racer (Sportster); and, he also reported positive results. Said there was much less top end wear than usual -- and, this, of course, was under extreme conditions. So, you can imagine how good it would be for regular use.
The same kind of comparison can be made with lubricants. Contrary to popular belief, there are very few high-quality lubes out there. It all starts with the oil base. Almost all bases are "brightstock" which contains a high degree of contaminants. TRC uses only "neutral" base, which contains only about 1 or 2% of contaminants (which is as clean as you can get). This is 1 reason (along with the additives) the LSR guy's top end was in such good shape after his run.
I'll probly be getting my Savage this summer, and will be using TRC products exclusively (except for the engine oil -- I don't think they make 1 without non-friction additives; and of course, we can't use it because of the clutch). Their additives do work, though.
I'm not a wrench; but, I do know a little about lubes, stabilizers, etc.
