They have seafoam just about anywhere that handles oil, auto parts or
boat stuff around here.
It is supposed to be some kind of miracle potion.
I have never had it fix anything.


It's purpose isn't to fix mechanical failures, so that's probably why
you haven't had it fix any.


This was hyped as some magic elixir that "Safely helps quiet noisy
lifters, helps remove fuel deposits and oil residue, helps smooth
rough idle". They say it cleans injectors, removes varnish and gum

I have not noticed it doing anything.

It is basically just light machine oil, naphtha and isopropanol that
they sell for $65 a gallon or more


How would you notice if it was removing varnish and gum? Yes, it is made
up of chemical compounds but that doesn't mean that it's not a good
product. Water is as well and it's pretty important stuff. Sea Foam Bugs
B Gone is fantastic for getting bugs and tar off of your paint, and I
like Deep Creep a lot better than WD-40.
