Wont do any damage unless you use it regulary. Your better off using some Vpower in a tank as that has cleaning additives in and will help clear its throat.
If you over use it, aparently it corrodes the injectors or somthing.

I've used it once, didn't really notice much difference tbh. I wouldn't use it regulary though as said by dbsax.

i did used to use additives quite a lot, but i ended up wrecking the fuel filter for some reason, anyway the car wasnt running right so my advice is only to use it every 3-4 tanks of fuel.

Redex and all other fuel additives are pretty pointless mate.
As people have said just try some Super Unleaded or V Power.
You're not going to see major power differences because they are designed for much more powerful cars. But will clean some of the crap out the fuel system.

You should not put redex or similar products in more than 2 times a year.
