    10 years at a parts store. I've found that cheap carb cleaner can work just as well as Seafoam for intake cleaning. Slime is the best all-around tire sealant I know of. Great to follow up with after plugging a tire. As the directions say, all you have to do to keep it from settling at the bottom, and unbalancing the tire is to drive around (the longer, the better) immediately after you finish putting it into the tire.

    Scotty. I normally agree with you on most things. But I will have to differ on the seafoam. I've been a mechanic for 30 years and it's an amazing product, if you want an inexpensive tune up on an old, high mileage car. I have had amazing luck with this and so have many that I know, that have used it. It may indeed , not work for brand new cars, but who the heck has money for new cars. Haaaa. I sure don't.

    For the Armorall one, diethylene glycol is an interesting chemical. Wine-makers in Austria in the '80s used it as a sweetener for their wine to improve taste and yield (since they could use fewer and crappier grapes) and many people got sick, and it ruined the reputation of Austria's wine industry for 15 years. There's a comprehensive video documentary called "The Austrian Wine Poisoning" on TH-cam that talks about it.

    Poured Sea Foam inside the head of a commercial mower engine. Reason being my brother-in law was too cheap to change a spark plug until it wouldn't run at all. So by the time he bought a plug their was so much carbon build up it just fouled the plug. He called the deal and they wanted over 300 bucks to take off the head and clean it out. So I let the seafoam foam over night, put an old plug in it. Started it up and it smoked like hell for over 10 minutes. Then I put a new plug in it. As far as I know it's still running to this day.

Two 8cyl bottles of restore put in on separate days about a week apart reduced that usage down to about 1 quart/day. That is significant. Did it fix the bad rings, no... did it help me through the immediate situation, yes. I was in a time after a hurricane when we needed that generator to run and could not take it offline to rebuild it. This product saved the day in that case.

    Anytime I see someone in the auto parts store, usually a lady or young person trying to decide on something like Seafoam, I share the story of my dad's '87 Silverado. I inherited it after he passed. It basically sat for about 3 years. Mom drove it occasionally but she didn't realize it had fuel filler doors on both sides. One of the tanks was full of 3 year old gas. I flew to Oklahoma from New Orleans to drive it back. While driving around town for a couple of days before heading south I switched tanks and the engine sputtered and died. The inside of the gas cap smelled like paint thinner. I put 6-8 cans of Berryman B-12 Chemtool in there and it cleaned it up enough for me to drive the tank dry. I had the throttle body injectors cleaned when I got back to New Orleans. I swear by Berryman.

    Scotty, I had an issue with my Suzuki 4 stroke injected motorcycle. The problem was that the throttle bodies were gumming up with a brown goo that was making the throttle plates sticky and not return. Scary on a high-powered sport bike. I had been pulling the air filter cover and element out and spraying the throttle bodies with intake cleaner but that would only last about a month or so (and I only rode it about once a week at that time). I got tired of that and started using Sea Foam in my gas, just a couple ounces in each tank (6 gl.) full of gas and I noticed no more sticking throttle so I took the air filter out and looked into the intake runners (bike runners are straight so you can see all the way to the back of the intake valve, and it was spotless. I have been using it for about ten years and no problems since I started.
    I used Slime in my lawn tractor tubeless tire and it ate up and corroded the steel wheel so bad it corroded all the way through, and I had to replace it. Unfortunately, I had several bottles and I had to throw it all out.
