Alternate Walnut Blast option?
Hey guys, I spoke to a gentlemen out in Colorado who said he performs the service identical to the video below on most of his customers cars as a courtesy.
However, I am not sure of this method and was wondering if anyone would chime in. I do not see it as "more" effective or as effective as walnut. But possibly if you are to perform during maintenance intervals? Is this safe to do? Thanks! |

The deposits that build up in the intake ports is very tough and needs to be mechanically removed (i.e. walnut blast). This appears to be a competitor to Sea Foam which is basically a light oil with a solvent in it. This will not have much effect on the buildup.

I have to agree with you. The carbon build is extremely aggressive. I wonder how this treatment may effect the car as a more "preventive" measure. I would be nervous about spraying a cleaner directly into the intake while the car is running...
