Default Seafoam Experience

I seafoamed the red **** today and was pleasantly surprised at the outcome. I didn't pour it in the oil though but I did do everything else and can tell a difference in throttle response. I highly recommend it. It did smoke for a couple of seconds pullin out of the driveway but when I got on the road and gunned it, it blew ALOT of smoke for a good minute. As it was smoking, I went by a guy on a bicycle and blew a big smoke cloud right in front of him, he went right through the cloud (whoops). I came back around the block to find him coughing and looking right at me all pissed off. I felt bad about it but couldn't help but laugh as I thought about what had just happened.

The outcome of Seafoaming is a lot of fun. There was quite a bit of smoke when I did mine a couple months ago. Next time, I'll also have to find a guy on a bike. lol

Can you just get this stuff at any auto parts store? Is there a site with the directions of proper use? I gotta change the oil in my Jeep soon, so it sounds like I could add it to the oil and gas...think it'd be a good idea for me?

autozone and advance auto both have it. There is a sticky in the general maintenance section on how to do it.

Read this thread about a guy regaining some power (dyno runs) after seafoaming his vette:

Good stuff. I picked up a whole treatment, took the lap top to the garage and followed the sticky. I have done plenty of vehicles since then. It seems to work rather well.

Looks like some sort of James Bond smoke screen there. Does it help you ditch the generic Russian goons?
