Default The one thing I neglected...

So... I've seen the SeaFoam plenty of times before today. It just dawned on me... I haven't SeaFoamed the car since I bought it (118k miles on the clock today). Tomorrow I will and probably smoke the **** out of the neighborhood. Hopefully I can take a video to see how bad it really is.

I Seafoamed the car today and it didn't smoke at startup at all. Smoke poured out while driving (including the engine bay). I ran my birds *** off. Should be nice and clean now.

Eh... I really wasn't concerned. If plenty of others have had success with it, I would expect the same.

You may want to look at the Mopar combustion chamber cleaner foam for top end cleaning. I hear that is better for top end because it gets into all cylinders instead of the liquid seafoam. I do love seafoam for injector cleaner though.
