Question Seafoam until smoke stops?

So i seafoamed the 8 today. I followed the DIY guide to doing this. My question is should I continue to seafoam the car until no smoke comes out? Or is once enough? I went through about 1.5 cans of seafoam this time.


Thank You

that will never happen. It's the seafoam burning off as well as the carbon thats creating the smoke.

it cures you of AIDS...i also works wonders on every other problem you have, if you car isnt starting just spray some all over you car and itll start up, if you GFs acting like a b8tch spray some on her and shell be the dream woman you first met...if it fails, your probably doing it wrong, if not try BEER or FISH SAUCE

I was just taking it all in...I never realized the magical properties of Seafoam until you mentioned them. I was just impressed you had so much insight on the product. LOL

hopefully you disconnected your cat pipe before putting it through the engine

carbon doesn't smoke, that's your brain frying in a pan full of cluelessness

thanks dozer ill try it on my wife next time she acts up, lol. i went to the web site and its said to put a third thought on of the main vacume lines, then pour enought in there to stall or stop it, next it says to the oil, and the rest into the gas tank.
my thoughts are there is no pistions, can u just pour some in the oil and then some into the gas, wouldnt that do the trick? if anyone can help, thanks, im new to the rotors, but i already love them
