Running and looking Better in 2 Hours!
My 4Runner that is.
Running Better- Another seafoam story. Used 1/2 through the brake booster hose and 1/2 in a 1/4 tank of gas. It helpes for sure, but I was dissapointed, I didn't get a big cloud of smoke, just a little. Idle is smoother, less hesitation when I floor it, worth $5 and EASY.
Looking Better- My 4Runner had not been waxed for 2 years, since I bought it. I had a bottle of RED turtle wax laying around and it was warm in the garage so I gave it a try. It was suprisingly easy and helped A LOT!!! It made the color tone more even and gave a nice shine. Of course, it rained today while it was parked outside. Oh well, I got more.

I seafoamed my 98 75Kmiles last week, I didn't get that much smoke, I went through the brake booster also. I took my throttle body off this weekend to change out the d shaped gasket and the TB was pretty dirty. But, the plenum was pretty clean, just a faint golden hue, so it looked like the seafoam did something. I ran 1/3 can in the booster and 2/3s in the tank just under half tank. I noticed a big difference after cleaning the TB and it was pretty easy to do.

Yeah, 24 hours of rain has got rid of most of the shine, but I will only wax it again for special occasions though, I find myself in the dirt once a week lately, so a wax job is just not practical.
