Hey Tammy - nice place you have here...

Engine Ice is, I beleive, a Propolyne Glycol antifreeze. Less toxic and easier to clean up than Ethylene Glycol - but still a mess. Many orginizations are banning this as well in the faster classes.

Water Wetter is a Redline product meant to be added to distilled water. It's a modifier that reduces water's surface tension, thus increasing the heat transfer coefficient between the metal (engine or radiator) and water. It's not slippery, toxic, or messy.

A tip - the Water Wetter instructions state that you need still use 10% Glycol antifreze. This is NOT true in bikes... This is for cars ONLY since Air Conditioners can blow enough cool air through the ventilation system to freeze the coolant in the heater core.

Agian - good resource!
