How to use WaterWetter?

ALright, so I've heard alot about redline waterwetter so i decided that for 5 bucks a bottle i should give it a try. My question is do i just pour it straight down the radiator cap? Won't this overflow with the colant mixture in their already. If so, how much colant should i remove and how. I don't really want to mess with the drain plug since i'm not that handy. Once i get enough of the colant, should i just add waterwetter or also some more water to change the mixture around. I hope this makes sense thanks

What I did was first drain the existing coolant out the rad by unsckewing the plastic bolt under the car. After that was done...I poured the entire waterwetter into the rad until the bottle was empty. Then I poured water in until the water reached the very top of the opening. Turned on the car...let it sit for like 10-15mins and then turned it off...added more water and then that's it. They say you should use some coolant also. 50% waterwetter, 25% water, and 25% coolant. I just did 50/50 waterwetter and water.

Interesting, do you know about how many bottles of waterwetter is equal to the total compacity of the radiator so i know how to do the 25 colant/25 water mixture. Thanks

For me, when I will do the next coolant drain it would:
50% Anti-gel Coolant (I do live in NE, right?) and 25% Waterwetter and 25% distlled water. I will drain the coolant and measure and nix the liquids ( Cooling System - 7.8 US qt. (7.4 L) )

Therefore, I need:
1.95 Qrts of distlled water
1.95 Qrts of water wetter
3.90 Qrts of Honda's anti-gel liquid.
