If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Depends on what you mean by "good". It isn't a miracle cure for overheating.
It does remove some corrosion and scale, so if you have a slight overheating problem because of the insulating effect of corrosion/limescale it will help, it won't unblock blocked radiator tubes as the liquid can't get into the tube in the first place, but it will open up partially blocked ones.
If your radiator is old, removing the internal scale will cause it to leak, this can also be a problem with the heater matrix, marginal on a jimny at the best of times, so If you are using it, I'd disconnect the heater, and join the pipes together temporally.
Have to say that I've used it on cast iron engines that have not had corrosion inhibiting antifreeze, if the antifreeze is changed regularly there won't be much corrosion to shift.
The 2 parts are an acid to dissolve the corrosion, and an alkali to neutralise the acid (supposed to have some corrosion inhibitor in as well), as you can't get all the coolant out of a jimny this is important.
