Default Its RXP compatible with Seafoam?

I see that seafoam works for alot of people and some other additives do too, but I was wondering if the little orange bottle called rxp really works, I used to work at pepboys and they would sell like crazy.

i have no experience with the stuff you are mentioning. i imagine it works to an extent, but when it comes to actual top end cleaner, i'd recommend seafoam over anything else. it's pure petroleum and has been around for many, many, MANY years. it's been proven time and time again to work and it has a great track record of not harming components. you could try something full of chemicals that may seem better on paper, but when it screws up your plugs, oxygen sensors, clogs your cats or something, then it was hardly worth it. i'm not saying something like that will happen with another product, but it's possible. seafoam is more pure than the gasoline you put into your tank. it's as harmless as it gets.

now, if you want a better FUEL SYSTEM cleaner, i'd recommend chevron's techron. that's a lot better than seafoam in my experience. i rarely use seafoam in my gas tank. i prefer chevron's techron over anything else.

as for top end cleaners, seafoam's your best bet IMO. there's no need to try anything new and risk catastrophe when you know something like seafoam will work great with likely no problems.

i don't know. i just know that seafoam works great and it's as harmless as it gets. pair that with a very low price of $5-$6 a can and why would anyone buy anything else? there's really no reason to get any other product IMO.
