So the theory is existing ground cables develop increased resistance. Add a new parallel ground and things improve.
The only place I can see existing cables getting increased resistance is at the crimps or connections. The copper wire itself... nahhh.
That being said, I would suggest cleaning up existing connections and applying a protectant like this.
Those of us who don't have heat soak (yet?) may want to apply this before it happens.
Good stuff. I use it in marine applications.
