This could easily be quantified with diagnostic equipment. Does the manufacturer provide any of this analysis? I'm always skeptical when a company tells you'll "feel" the difference straight away.
To me that's like a hair tonic where they just add menthol and make you believe your hair is lush and thick now since you feel the tingle.

That being said, just like a humans arteries can clog up over time from the junk we eat, there is medicine that can help clear those clogs. No reason to suppose this isn't the same concept on the automotive side.

Yeah, and just like those pills....I've got some land down in Florida.....

Maybe a better comparison - seafoam is more like Ex-lax?

Seafoam is great for cleaning carbon deposits. I used it for cleaning the SAI air ports going into the headers with fantastic results.
