Good write up. I usually like to do this before every spark plug change, but it doesnt hurt to do it more often. I regularly rev the **** out of my car so I dont get a lot of carbon buildup but it doesnt hurt to do it anyway. I actually just ran a can into the fuel tank last fill up. Ill use seafoam over any additive or cleaner out there. Its been around for a long time and is a proven product.

I'd do it to my car, I keep trying to get my dad to do it on his Dodge Dakota with 212K on it, I can only imagine the cloud from all that carbon coming out of that truck.

I'm going to have to give this a try. My car has been starting harder and harder every day, and with winter coming, I want to get it cleaned up. I know that I do quite a bit of freeway, and with the way our freeways merge on and then add on rush hour in the morning, I frequently have to drive the **** out of it, so I'm sure I blow most of it out, but when I bought it originally it was 10 years old, with only 53,xxx miles, so I think it's got some old carbon buildup from the PO.
