i will elaborate for apples. sea foam is a highly flammable mineral oil based solvent. you put about an ounce or 2 in each rotor housing and let it sit for an hour or so (there are plenty of other ways to do this). It goes inside the engine and essentially cleans up allot of carbon buildup and other material that rotary's are prone to getting.

Mazda offers a service under warranty using the zoom cleaner it is almost the same thing but there has been much debate on the use of sea foam over zoom cleaner. if a customer complains about a loss of power they will do the zoom cleaner and bada boom the power is back...

Over time rotary engines get carbon built up inside the engine this can cause to premature engine failure and loss of power. So its best to clean the engine out.

P.S. Seafoam has been used for years by gear heads and the like to clean and maintain the engine. It's safe reliable and cheaper than dirt.

Mine barely had any as well which is why I will not be using MMO any longer. I fear that it attacked the oil meant to lubricate my seals. Leading to my side seals failing.
