I ran this product through my 2016 Kia Optima w/ 44k miles on it. The car has never had a prior valve cleaning done as I have had it since new. Always running full syn oil and top tier gas through it.I followed the directions exactly as stated on the packaging with the exception of much shorter spray bursts than the 30seconds stated on the package as any longer then just 3-5secords would have caused the car to stall. I injected the spray directly into the throttle body as I only needed to remove a single air duct to access the TB (that took all of 2min). The entire process took about 30 minutes. After the hour long heat soak, I started it up and saw no smoke. Took it out and it sputtered just a bit with some faint engine noises for about the first 5min of driving at about 40mph.Once out on the highway I worked it up to 65 (still no visible smoke), then proceeded to run it through another 15 minutes at speeds of 55-75mph. Engine was quiet and responsive no issues or codes.All in all I feel the car is running just a bit more responsive (it was already running well before applying this product with highway mpg 38). I did this as a preventative maintenance project. I think the real story here is just how clean this Kia 2.4 GDI engine appears to have been after 44k miles. Hearing all of these GDI carbon buildup stories regarding other types of GDI engines makes me wonder if carbon is rally an overrated concern on the Kia GDI's. Either way, I am happy with the product and the process and will now continue to apply this once ever 10k miles as suggested on the package. I can deal with the additional $13 a year for the peace of mind to go along with the syn oil and top tier fuel that I will continue to utilize in this car.
