I have used the Venom Red Hot as well as Pink (lighter version of it) for weekly conditioning. I have nothing negative to say about it, works really well. I kind of got away from Venom the last few years going back to good old hot lap 2 but as soon as it's gone I'll be back in full support of Mr Bishop and the Venom line for 2015.
As far as chemical names, good luck. I highly suggest buying prep for $14/30 a quart that's proven rather than ruin tires trying stuff to save money. Wd40 is still commonly used for conditioning, and like I said, a tire cleaner such as Trac Tac tire wash/Acrysol/ProBlend/Naphta will open pores creating bite by pulling oils to the surface.
