I seafoamed today. It was pretty exciting. There was a LOT of smoke. I took a video, but my USB cable is messed up on one end (the computer end won't go into the slot...I don't see anything to explain why and cleaning with alcohol didn't help). Neither Radio Shack nor Fry's carries a replacement, so when I get home, I'm going to try to make a frankenstein cable with a working cable because the smoke in the video is excellent.

But in the meantime, I know there has already been plenty of discussion on the subject, but for those of you who still aren't sold on Seafoam, these were my results:

1) Much smoother idle. Mine wasn't especially rough to begin with, but now it's even better. I feel a lot less vibration through the steering wheel.
2) Car is even quieter than before.
3) The car drives more smoothly. I don't think I can say that it feels punchier as some have claimed, but the overall drive experience is definitely improved by aforementioned observations.

I got a check engine light...cylinder 6 misfire, cleared it, I don't expect it to come back. So, it was easy, it was cheap, and it made a noticeable difference.

The End.

Edit: Franksteined USB cable failed, XD card reader from Radio Shack came through. I would like to say something before you watch the video. Three things.
1) It might () have been better to move the car out of the garage before seafoaming. Luckily, the smoke came right at me, the filmer, and not into the garage so it worked out.
2) I didn't know that my camera ALSO recorded audio, so you'll get to hear our commentary. In the video taken from inside the car, the piercing cry of "SWEEEEET!" did NOT come from me. It's important to me that you know that.
3) My camera lens is dirty.

^^^Oh, that's fun!

 

Videos are up.

 

I thought there would be more smoke? IDK.

Yeah doing that in the garage probably wasn't the best idea. LOL I need to do that to my car soon. Next oil change probably. Nicely done.

P.S. You weren't kidding about the dirty lens!

 

The amount was smoke was really pretty amazing when we took it for a spin. The camera definitely didn't pick up all of it.

 

Ahh.. I see. LOL

BTW, you have some really cool aviator pictures that you post! LOL

Josh

 

wow that's like no smoke compared to mine lol. i had enough smoke to cover up 2 store fronts. which is about 30ft. and some of my smoke was black when it first came out. maybe u didin't use enough seafoam. do it again lol

 

I want to!! I want to do it every day of my LIFE!

I used a little less than half a can...should I have used more?

 

LOL That might get expensive after a while.
