Smoke gets into the Car!

To all the maxima experts please give your opinion on this.

I seafoam my car yesterday and when the car was throwing out all the smoke it was getting inside the car thru the ac vents. I had all window close ac/heat off and the smoke was getting in. Last time I seafoam my car it didn’t do this.
The smoke was coming from the engine compartment.
I also did a burn out and all the smoke was coming in.
Is this normal?

did you close your recirculation vent? It may be a good idea for all future instances where you chose to do something like a burn out.

The recirculation vent was close.
I only did the burn out to make more smoke and see if it would go in again.

why R U wasting your time doing SeaFoam ? It doesn't do anything but just make a ton of harmful smoke.
