Default cheapo ac recharge?

Anybody actually gotten one of the VatoZone ac recharge kits to work?

I am going to need AC soon, but I don't have time to get my car to a shop and if I can get a cheap fix for the summer, I'll do that instead anyway. Plus I HATE taking my car to any shop. I don't trust ANYONE with my cars.

First you need to find out why the AC is not working properly. It could be a leak, bad compressor, etc. Trying to recharge a faulty system is going to get you no where.

Well, the AC slowly went out.
Then was kinda off and on for a while.
The compressor still kills my power when I try to turn the AC on.

So, I'm not Mr. A/C, but I'd assume the compressor still works and I'd hope that with the AC being intermittent might indicate that it didn't just leak out.

But I don't know. Is there some sort of troubleshooting guide?
