Just the amount of stuff coming out the exhaust seems a bit intense.
Would be interested to get an opinion after your mate uses it?

There is a video on YouTube of a guy proving all the smoke is just the seafoam and not any carbon being removed.

IIRC he uses a brand new lawnmower to prove the point

The Ron Echt method i cheaper,and genuinely works. Did it on my Cupra using white spirit. There was a Youtube how to, and possibly a thread on here... Ron Echt being the forum user who pioneered the technique.

This is mine with white spirit:



I'm not sure of the effectiveness. I didn't really notice much of a difference afterward.

The guy's car in the video below has 82.000 miles and he says (at 11m15s) that he "definitely feels a power difference" after seafoam.
