It's snake oil. I've sold that junk for almost 20 years now. I'll never use it. Here's a good example of why.... I had the rep come in to show us this stuff. He said that it would completely clean fuel injectors. So he tried it on my manager's Tahoe. After he was finished, the engine wouldn't start. Fault codes from the ECU read misfire on all cylinders. So we cleared the codes and waited an hour. Tried again to start it..... nothing. We had to change the spark plugs and clean the now fouled injectors with our professional cleaner in our shop.

There is one good thing about SeaFoam though..... it will clean the bugs off your bumper really well.
