Another satisfied Seafoamer

Did the seafoam over the weekend and I must say that I am quite satified of the results. Car feels more responisve and revs and Idle are a much smother. I used about half the can thru the brake booster line, like everyone else the car smoked liked crazy espicialy when I stated to drive it. I though I screwed up. Lucky for me it was a windy day and the smoke went away. But I will be using this again and the rest that I have I will put in the gas tank. Good Stuff!!!!!

Is there a certain mileage interval you should get to before doing this?

Im at 107K miles and its my first time using it. I will proably at every other oil change or so. To use it was super easy. The hardest part was taking off the brake booster line becuase of the vacume. After that, you just start the car, it will idle funny but dont panic its normal and the vacume is strong enough to suck it from a cup without puttin the tube in the seafoam itself. Once the seafoam is in turn off the car let it sit for about 30-45 mins start it up and let the smoke prove its cleaning. My smoke started out dark gray and them became white.
