I hear a lot of good things about it cleaning out carbon but the process seems a little sketch, anyone try it?

I never used seafoam, but I've used combustion chamber cleaner which is safer and has the same effects. It works wonders on older cars, and does absolutely nothing for new ones. Your car is way too new to even consider using any kind of engine cleaner.

The only way the motor has enough build up to need that stuff, is if you've never done an oil change and have been running insanely rich.
