Difference between Seafoam and BG induction cleanse?

I am looking to clean my engine up since its never had a cleanse...

Just curious... What is the difference between Seafoam and BG induction cleanse?

Seafoam you can do yourself. Probably slightly less effective than the BG system, which is more complicated to perform and is often done at a dealer.

Both will help clean the intake manifold and possibly the throttle body, and remove SOME of the deposits on the intake valves, but if they're heavily carboned they'll need actual physical cleaning.

EDIT: Also, price. You can get 3 cans of Seafoam (2 regular, one deep creep) for less than $30. Having the BG system cleaning done at the dealer will probably cost you between $150-$250.
