coolant swap additives?

Is there any additive for radiators and cooling systems to flush them? Kinda like motor flush for oil. I'm flushing the bad boy out and want to know. Thanks...

I know there theres somethign at the dealership they use... this is from a local dealer:

Enginewity Cooling System Cleaning Process

Dissolves the calcium, polymerized coolant and limescale buildup in your radiator and engine and helps to maintain correct operating temperatures.
Helps extend the life of your cooling system.
Improves overall dependability

Don't know what it is, but it apparently does something!

now is this something that we can buy, or is it something that the dealership uses when you take it to them to take it up the a$$?

I read somewhere that the dealership has some stuff you should use when you change the coolant. There is a pt# for it, and they reccomend using two bottles of it every time or something.
