Seafoam for new (to me) V8VGTS?

As of last week, I'm the very happy owner of a 2016 Vantage GTS but it had spent a few months not really being driven and I'm doing a nice 2+ hour drive soon.

It already had an annual service (Oil and brake flush) done at an AM dealer but wondering if I should dump half a can of Seafoam before giving it the long drive to give the injectors a nice clean?

I'm a firm believer in the magic of seafoam as it helped keep my other cars stay in great shape but not sure what the consensus is for Astons?

I have no experience with that product, but I do the same with Techron once a year.

I've never used the Techron one. Might give it a try!

Techron is probably the right option.

Techron is a better choice. Seafoam has it's place in outboard engines and farm equipment.
