Which fuel additive do you guys think is the best for removing the carbon buildup in the cylinders and around the plugs?

i like this stuff called FIC. they say its better for the fuel injectors because it keeps them lubricated and dosent burn up the o rings

I may have to run a thing of seafoam through the truck then. I tried it through the brake booster hose but got no smoke. Unless I did it wrong.

2 step process, 1 tank treated with RXP followed by 1 tank with Lucas fuel system cleaner. Strictly preventative maintenance.
